Highlights from this day
- tga_notice — is a fasting insulin worth paying for privately if my gp will not do it 15:21
- mag_citrate — i pay privately for fasting insulin because nobody will order it for me otherwise, someone check my working 15:25
- mag_citrate — quick one ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year if your glucose is in mg/dL the divisor is 405. if it is mmol/L it is 22.5 16:01
- ms_ms_mira — a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic, take that with a pinch of salt 16:06
- mag_citrate — apob or ldl, which one are you all actually tracking 16:25
is crp worth adding to the panel
lab error maybe
apob if you can

retest it

slightly off topic but do you get bloods every 2 months or only when something changes
an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not
nice a1c
good numbers

fasting insulin
thyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything
thats normal
the most useful thing i did was get a full panel before i started. everything since has been comparable
a1c is a ninety day average. retesting at week six tells you almost nothing, ill dig out the number
