most of the lipid improvement in my panel tracked the weight, not the drug
is a fasting insulin worth paying for privately if my gp will not do it
get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started
tsh moved slightly, is that a known thing

crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this
ferritin is low, is that the drug or the not eating

get a baseline
crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this
anyone have before and after numbers they are willing to post
good numbers
follow up fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests
if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later
my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all
apob if you can
