is it too early to retest a1c at week 12
alt and ast coming down as you lose liver fat is common and is a good sign
thyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything
lab error maybe
is crp worth adding to the panel
sorry to jump in a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic
tsh moved slightly, is that a known thing
baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on
my b12 is borderline, supplementing or eating differently
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
a1c is a ninety day average. retesting at week six tells you almost nothing
egfr dropped a few points, dehydration or something real
anyone have before and after numbers they are willing to post

fasting insulin came back higher than i expected, what does that actually mean
nice a1c
a single weird electrolyte is very often a handling artefact. retest before you worry
most of the lipid improvement in my panel tracked the weight, not the drug
