Highlights from this day
  • retention_time — an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not 18:46
  • tallinn_taper — a single weird electrolyte is very often a handling artefact. retest before you worry 18:47
  • retention_time — while im here a1c is a ninety day average. retesting at week six tells you almost nothing 19:09
  • apnoea_down_two — 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 19:10
  • tallinn_taper — slightly off topic but what does homa-ir actually tell you that fasting insulin does not 19:52

get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started

slightly off topic but what does homa-ir actually tell you that fasting insulin does not

crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this
