Highlights from this day
- provincial_pat — slightly off topic but the FLOW result is why my nephrologist changed her position on this entirely, ask me again in a month 16:58
- bengaluru_bac — 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 17:04
- bengaluru_bac — get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started, thats one data point 17:07
- split_the_cost — update from 12 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob 18:20
lab error maybe

thats a big move

homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system
not a chat question
is it too early to retest a1c at week 23
genuine question anyone had a result that turned out to be a lab error
update from 12 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
do you get bloods every 8 months or only when something changes
how much does the lipid panel move just from losing weight
i had a potassium that came back high and the repeat was normal. the tube had been knocked about
good numbers
what does homa-ir actually tell you that fasting insulin does not
[edited]apob or ldl, which one are you all actually tracking
a single weird electrolyte is very often a handling artefact. retest before you worry
