Highlights from this day
- chlorhex — ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year 11:32
- chlorhex — ok so my b12 is borderline, supplementing or eating differently 11:47
- birch_bloods — for the archive fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests 15:12
- protein_floor — update from 16 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob, i could be wrong 15:14
the FLOW result is why my nephrologist changed her position on this entirely, thats just me
if your glucose is in mg/dL the divisor is 405. if it is mmol/L it is 22.5
ok so my b12 is borderline, supplementing or eating differently

good numbers
quick one triglycerides halved. is that the weight or the compound
[edited]too early for a1c

post the numbers

mine did the same
most of the lipid improvement in my panel tracked the weight, not the drug
[edited]apob or ldl, which one are you all actually tracking
what would make you stop and go and see somebody rather than post here
for the archive fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests
update from 16 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob, i could be wrong
an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not
what should i get at baseline before i start
my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all, ill dig out the number
