Highlights from this day
- halifax_hplc — an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not 11:20
- lean_mass_lex — if your glucose is in mg/dL the divisor is 405. if it is mmol/L it is 22.5 if a result frightens you, that is a conversation with a clinician. we will help you read… 13:45
- lean_mass_lex — update from 21 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob 13:48
- mhra_unlicensed — if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later 17:21
i had a potassium that came back high and the repeat was normal. the tube had been knocked about
most of the lipid improvement in my panel tracked the weight, not the drug, ill dig out the number
not a chat question
homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system, happy to be corrected
egfr dropped a few points, dehydration or something real
nice a1c

a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic
quick one my potassium came back weird and the retest was normal, whats that about
genuine question crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this
apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both because i can only get one reliably
tsh moved slightly, is that a known thing

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

before after
A1c 6.4% 5.3%
trigs 2.9 1.1
HDL 0.9 1.3
LDL-C 3.4 3.2
apoB 1.09 1.02
ALT 58 24apob or ldl, which one are you all actually tracking
see somebody
the FLOW result is why my nephrologist changed her position on this entirely
get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started
sorry to jump in my b12 is borderline, supplementing or eating differently
alt and ast coming down as you lose liver fat is common and is a good sign
if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later

what does homa-ir actually tell you that fasting insulin does not
