Highlights from this day
- bac_water_bill — an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not 13:21
- bac_water_bill — 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 13:25
- bac_water_bill — nobody here is reading your bloods as a clinician. we are reading them as people who have had a lot of bloods, thats just me 13:26
- peak_split — baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on 13:28
- bac_water_bill — fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests 13:30

is a fasting insulin worth paying for privately if my gp will not do it
thats the 90 day thing
a single weird electrolyte is very often a handling artefact. retest before you worry
too early for a1c
the most useful thing i did was get a full panel before i started. everything since has been comparable
[edited]ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year
fasting insulin came back higher than i expected, what does that actually mean
update from 9 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob
