lab error maybe

i pay privately for fasting insulin because nobody will order it for me otherwise
lipase slightly over range with no symptoms, how worried should i be
alt and ast coming down as you lose liver fat is common and is a good sign
nice a1c
too early for a1c
do you fast for the full 12 hours or is 8 enough
a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic
if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later
