post the numbers
[edited]alt and ast coming down as you lose liver fat is common and is a good sign, someone check my working
too early for a1c
the FLOW result is why my nephrologist changed her position on this entirely
right so thyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything
what does homa-ir actually tell you that fasting insulin does not
thats normal
follow up is crp worth adding to the panel

fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests
mine did the same
if your glucose is in mg/dL the divisor is 405. if it is mmol/L it is 22.5
lab error maybe
my alt has come down a lot since i started losing, is that expected
retest it

while im here homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system

apob or ldl, which one are you all actually tracking
a1c is a ninety day average. retesting at week six tells you almost nothing
crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this, happy to be corrected
