stalled for 6 weeks at 1.7mg and I refuse to panic this time. Not a hot take, just something I have not seen said plainly here. The relevant figures are 6 weeks and…

tried A1c for 18 weeks. here is what happened, and I am aware this is a minority view on this board. 18 weeks. Those are measured, not estimated, and not rounded up in…

the ALT advice in here is 2 years out of date. Making the case below, and I expect to lose some of it in the comments. To save the first four comments: 2 years. My ApoB…

The title is the whole question — my TSH moved 0.4. is that anything — but here is why I am asking. Brought the whole set to my clinician rather than one flagged value.…

the bloodwork thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down. Not a hot take, just something I have not seen said plainly here. ApoB counts atherogenic…

week 31 check-in — 11kg down, sulphur burps manageable, one thing confusing me, logged the same way every week so the comparison is at least internally fair. The…

Trying to get a straight answer on this: why does nobody talk about baseline labs. Why so many single values look alarming and turn out to be nothing. A reference…

Question in the title, detail here: France — has anyone got a straight answer on telehealth. Nothing in this thread is medical advice, and the choice between…

how much of what we believe about bloodwork actually comes from baseline labs threads. Searched first, found three threads that contradict each other, hence the post.…

genuine question about telehealth that I am slightly embarrassed to ask, and I want the answer with the reasoning attached rather than just the conclusion. The five…

lipids got worse on paper while everything else got better. triglycerides explain it. It is the sort of thing everyone half-believes and nobody writes down. My A1c…

reading lipids threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly, which sounds obvious until you try to state the evidence for it. Reference intervals are typically the…

The title is the argument: my ALT moved and I cannot work out whether beginner is why. Here is the rest of it. Titration is a tolerance ladder. Each step exists so the…

Genuine question, and the title is the question: help me understand ALT, I have read the wiki twice. Panicked about a single result, posted here, got told to repeat it,…

Genuine question, and the title is the question: how do you actually verify telehealth. The shortage list is the legal hinge: the permissions that allow certain…

Posting this as a discussion rather than a claim: reading ALT threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly. Why so many single values look alarming and turn out to be…

stalled for 3 weeks at 1.7mg and I refuse to panic this time. Not a hot take, just something I have not seen said plainly here. The relevant figures are 3 weeks and…

Question in the title, detail here: what would you tell week-1 you about lipids. Reference intervals are typically the central 95% of a reference population. By…

get these before you start, you cannot go back for them later. Making the case below, and I expect to lose some of it in the comments. Added ApoB to the panel after a…

A1c 9.1 → 5.4 over 14 months, full table inside, which sounds obvious until you try to state the evidence for it. Since the title puts numbers in the shop window: 14…
