fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests

Highlights from this day
- no_chargeback — if your glucose is in mg/dL the divisor is 405. if it is mmol/L it is 22.5 15:06
- ms_ms_mira — what would make you stop and go and see somebody rather than post here 16:36
- declared_value — nobody here is reading your bloods as a clinician. we are reading them as people who have had a lot of bloods 17:50
see somebody

[edited] before after
A1c 6.4% 5.3%
trigs 2.9 1.1
HDL 0.9 1.3
LDL-C 3.4 3.2
apoB 1.09 1.02
ALT 58 24🎉15
apob if you can
crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this
thyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything
apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both because i can only get one reliably

a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic, happy to be corrected
too early for a1c

Reminder for ms_ms_mira: dose day is today. Set 8 days ago.

if a result frightens you, that is a conversation with a clinician. we will help you read it, we will not tell you it is fine, i could be wrong
homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system
an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not
nobody here is reading your bloods as a clinician. we are reading them as people who have had a lot of bloods

anyone had a result that turned out to be a lab error
most of the lipid improvement in my panel tracked the weight, not the drug, we shall see
👀12🎉15😂1
update from 9 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob
my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all

not a chat question
thats the 90 day thing
for the archive fasting insulin came back higher than i expected, what does that actually mean
