Highlights from this day
- septum_sal — a single weird electrolyte is very often a handling artefact. retest before you worry 16:42
- septum_sal — nobody here is reading your bloods as a clinician. we are reading them as people who have had a lot of bloods, i think 16:45
- noct.titrate — is there any point getting a1c if i am not diabetic 17:02
- reta_resting_hr — while im here how much does the lipid panel move just from losing weight baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on 17:12
- tokyo_taper — 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 18:52
get a baseline
most of the lipid improvement in my panel tracked the weight, not the drug

apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both because i can only get one reliably
[edited]is there any point getting a1c if i am not diabetic

do you get bloods every 4 months or only when something changes

baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on
fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests
thyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything, for what its worth
lab error maybe
thats a big move
what should i get at baseline before i start
