my fasting insulin moved and I cannot work out whether metformin is why. It is the sort of thing everyone half-believes and nobody writes down. Kept fingersticks…

comment on my fasting insulin moved and I cannot work out whether metformin is why in c/t2dglp1 · 48 points · 1 year ago
What does time in range look like, not just the average?

hypoglycaemia risk depends far more on what else you take

Assumed the weight endpoints from the obesity trials applied to my situation. They are different programmes.
comment on [Discussion] chromatogram is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/hplc · 352 points · 1 year ago
Resolution between two peaks depends on retention, selectivity and efficiency. A shallower gradient buys retention and usually resolution, at the cost of peak width and run time.

214nm sees the peptide bond, 280nm sees the aromatics

Have you had the conversation with a clinician yet?
Agreed — and the exposure lag means the first fortnight tells you almost nothing.
comment on [Lab] split one vial across Janoshik and Medutest — 98.7% and 98.3% in c/hplc · 275 points · 1 year ago
UV response is not uniform across species. At 214nm you are looking at the peptide bond, which is why it is the working wavelength for this class; at 280nm you only see tryptophan, tyrosine and phenylalanine.
comment on reading regain threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/tapering · 37 points · 1 year ago
Disagree with the framing. Regain is the documented outcome after discontinuation; calling it a personal failure is both wrong and corrosive.
comment on unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about T2D is guesswork in c/t2dglp1 · 21 points · 1 year ago
time in range is the more informative number and it is newer
comment on switched from 0.5mg to 1.0mg and early fullness got better, not worse in c/tapering · 2 points · 1 year ago
stretching to ten days then twelve is the pattern people report
Agreed — and the exposure lag means the first fortnight tells you almost nothing.
comment on 4 months in and MASH is still the thing I get wrong in c/survodutide · 1 points · 1 year ago
Cosigning on the glucagon arm. It is the mechanistic thread that connects the hepatic and the metabolic effects.
comment on [Lab] MKM cagri — Medutest came back 97.2% against a claimed 97.0% in c/hplc · 23 points · 1 year ago
Cosigning the wavelength point. Half the disagreements in this board are two people looking at different detectors.
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring T2D at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/t2dglp1 · -15 points · 1 year ago
Incretin-based agents stimulate insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner, which is why hypoglycaemia risk with them alone is low. Risk rises with agents that act independently of glycaemia.
comment on [Lab] 16th independent test on ERP — 97.4% on a claimed 97.0%, and the trend is the interesting part in c/hplc · -37 points · 2 years ago
a shoulder is not an impurity until you can resolve it
comment on [Lab] split one vial across PeptideMeter and VendorInvestigate — 93.7% and 94.2% in c/hplc · 575 points · 2 years ago
Area percent is the integrated area of your peak over the total integrated area at one wavelength on one gradient. Change any of those and the number changes without the sample changing.
comment on chromatogram is the most under-discussed thing on this board in c/hplc · 86 points · 2 years ago
Can you post the trace with the axes labelled?

How old is the column and roughly how many injections has it seen?

Small fix — 214nm, not 210. It matters for the comparison you are making with the other run.
chromatogram is the most under-discussed thing on this board. I have gone back and forth on this for months. System suitability — repeat injections, tailing factor,…
