Highlights from this day
homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system
baseline 58
wk 2 61
wk 4 64
wk 6 67
wk 8 66
wk 10 65 (held dose from wk 7)get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started
mine did the same

coming back to this thyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything
right so apob or ldl, which one are you all actually tracking

a1c is a ninety day average. retesting at week six tells you almost nothing
how much does the lipid panel move just from losing weight
