Highlights from this day
- split_the_cost — homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system 18:47
- apob_over_ldl — tsh moved slightly, is that a known thing 19:12
- split_the_cost — if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later 19:27
- split_the_cost — fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests, not advice obviously 19:36

if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later

lab error maybe
do you get bloods every 4 months or only when something changes
update from 7 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob
is a fasting insulin worth paying for privately if my gp will not do it
