Highlights from this day
- freeze_thaw — nobody here is reading your bloods as a clinician. we are reading them as people who have had a lot of bloods 13:08
- VialBot — Purity check: no report on file for lot B-0114. Nothing logged either way. 14:01
- bad_batch_not_scam — sorry to jump in baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on 14:39
do you fast for the full 12 hours or is 8 enough
Verification log updated: QSC — evidence added, status unchanged.
while im here if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later
Reminder set. I will post here in 3 days.

what does homa-ir actually tell you that fasting insulin does not

what would make you stop and go and see somebody rather than post here
👍3👀1
if your glucose is in mg/dL the divisor is 405. if it is mmol/L it is 22.5
apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both because i can only get one reliably, your mileage will differ
the most useful thing i did was get a full panel before i started. everything since has been comparable
fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests
my potassium came back weird and the retest was normal, whats that about
i pay privately for fasting insulin because nobody will order it for me otherwise

ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year
🙏1🤝8
apob or ldl, which one are you all actually tracking
ferritin is low, is that the drug or the not eating
🙏13👍1🤝11
a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic
too early for a1c
my alt has come down a lot since i started losing, is that expected
i had a potassium that came back high and the repeat was normal. the tube had been knocked about, not advice obviously
unrelated but crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this
fasting insulin came back higher than i expected, what does that actually mean
ok so update from 6 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob, anyway
thats the 90 day thing
the FLOW result is why my nephrologist changed her position on this entirely
Purity check: no report on file for lot B-0114. Nothing logged either way.

thyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything, not advice obviously
how much does the lipid panel move just from losing weight
not a chat question
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
sorry to jump in baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on

a single weird electrolyte is very often a handling artefact. retest before you worry
is crp worth adding to the panel
🤝18👍9
bad_batch_not_scama single weird electrolyte is very often a handling artefact. retest before you worry
most of the lipid improvement in my panel tracked the weight, not the drug, happy to be corrected
is it too early to retest a1c at week 15
baseline 58
wk 2 61
wk 4 64
wk 6 67
wk 8 66
wk 10 65 (held dose from wk 7)apob if you can
Batch lookup E-2205: 5 independent reports on file, earliest 2025-10-31.

homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system
a1c is a ninety day average. retesting at week six tells you almost nothing
post the numbers

my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all
nobody here is reading your bloods as a clinician. we are reading them as people who have had a lot of bloods
tsh moved slightly, is that a known thing
👍6❤️18🧊1
see somebody
thats a big move
thistle_teststhyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything,…
what should i get at baseline before i start
fasting insulin
thats normal
right so alt and ast coming down as you lose liver fat is common and is a good sign
nice a1c
Reminder set. I will post here in 3 days.
triglycerides halved. is that the weight or the compound
probably dehydration
right so retest it
mine did the same
sorry to jump in lab error maybe
get a baseline
fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests
