A1c

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

Question in the title, detail here: what changed for me between month 10 and month 18. Reference intervals are typically the central 95% of a reference population. By…

small win: ALT stopped being a problem at week 87. This is a description of what happened to me and not a plan for anybody else. Took a baseline the week before…

my TSH moved and I cannot work out whether ferritin is why. I have gone back and forth on this for months. How to make a panel worth comparing, which is most of the…

anyone else notice baseline labs kicking in around week 7. This is a description of what happened to me and not a plan for anybody else. Why so many single values look…

the ALT rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining. Comments open, and the wording is genuinely up for discussion. Added ApoB to the panel after a thread…

Trying to get a straight answer on this: genuine question about A1c that I am slightly embarrassed to ask. Sensor accuracy varies across wear, and readings on the first…

Asking properly rather than in a comment on somebody else’s thread: am I the only one who found hypoglycaemia harder than the injections. Sensor accuracy varies across…

three years of T2D threads, summarised so you do not have to read them. I have gone back and forth on this for months. Panicked over a first-day sensor reading and…

Posting this as a discussion rather than a claim: unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about T2D is guesswork. Sensor accuracy varies across wear, and…

ferritin — 20 things I got wrong before I got it right, which sounds obvious until you try to state the evidence for it. Nobody here can interpret your panel and this…

Reporting in. 24 months in and metformin is still the thing I get wrong. 24 months. Those are measured, not estimated, and not rounded up in my favour. My ApoB moved…

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…

help me understand T2D, I have read the wiki twice. I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source. Postprandial excursions typically respond…

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…

unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about CGM is guesswork. I have gone back and forth on this for months. The three numbers, and what each one can and…

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…

Writing this once so it can be linked instead of retyped: hypoglycaemia is not what most of this community thinks it is. Assumed the weight endpoints from the obesity…

The title is the argument: the glycaemic control advice in here is 2 years out of date. Here is the rest of it. Figures up front so nobody has to dig: 2 years. On…
