homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system
most of the lipid improvement in my panel tracked the weight, not the drug

Highlights from this day
- tare_weight — thyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything, still working it out 17:06
- karl_fischer — my potassium came back weird and the retest was normal, whats that about 17:21
- bolus_bo — is it too early to retest a1c at week 29 17:43
- karl_fischer — do you get bloods every 9 months or only when something changes 18:00
is there any point getting a1c if i am not diabetic
if your glucose is in mg/dL the divisor is 405. if it is mmol/L it is 22.5
see somebody
apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both because i can only get one reliably
coming back after 26 months, what changed in your numbers
probably dehydration

i had a potassium that came back high and the repeat was normal. the tube had been knocked about
thats the 90 day thing
retest it

get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started
post the numbers
a1c is a ninety day average. retesting at week six tells you almost nothing
anyone have before and after numbers they are willing to post
i pay privately for fasting insulin because nobody will order it for me otherwise

ferritin is low, is that the drug or the not eating
is it too early to retest a1c at week 29

what does homa-ir actually tell you that fasting insulin does not
while im here what would make you stop and go and see somebody rather than post here
do you get bloods every 9 months or only when something changes
