Highlights from this day
- snac_and_water — nobody here is reading your bloods as a clinician. we are reading them as people who have had a lot of bloods, take that with a pinch of salt 19:36
- u100_pat — coming back to this crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this 19:52
- taper_or_not — an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not 21:06
- taper_or_not — right so coming back after 12 months, what changed in your numbers 21:07
sorry to jump in apob or ldl, which one are you all actually tracking
is a fasting insulin worth paying for privately if my gp will not do it
if your glucose is in mg/dL the divisor is 405. if it is mmol/L it is 22.5

my b12 is borderline, supplementing or eating differently
ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year

if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later
egfr dropped a few points, dehydration or something real
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
probably dehydration
an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not
