Highlights from this day
- birch_bloods — while im here most of the lipid improvement in my panel tracked the weight, not the drug 17:57
- brisbane_bac — an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not, still working it out 18:16
- brisbane_bac — nobody here is reading your bloods as a clinician. we are reading them as people who have had a lot of bloods 18:22

i had a potassium that came back high and the repeat was normal. the tube had been knocked about
get a baseline

alt and ast coming down as you lose liver fat is common and is a good sign
ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year, still working it out
mine did the same
my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all
an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not, still working it out

| Test | Why now |
|---|---|
| Fasting insulin | impossible to get a true baseline afterwards |
| Full lipid panel with apoB | the comparison is the whole point |
| HbA1c | 90-day average, so it lags your start |
| CMP + CBC | cheap, and the reference for everything after |
| Ferritin, B12, TSH | these fall quietly on a low intake |
lab error maybe
what would make you stop and go and see somebody rather than post here
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
if your glucose is in mg/dL the divisor is 405. if it is mmol/L it is 22.5
probably dehydration
