[Discussion] the A1c advice in here is 24 years out of date

Discussion

Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful.

Setup: 10mg, week 76, sulphur burps present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — ApoB — and tracked it for 24 weeks.

Result: a difference, but a small one, and well inside what I would call noise if someone else posted it. So I am putting it here rather than presenting it as a finding. If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something.

Not medical advice, obviously. This is one person with a spreadsheet.

Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.

Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.

Adding to this: ApoB is doing more work than the comment implies.

Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.

My TSH went from 16 to 16 in 80 weeks. The bloodwork story shows up in the trend, not the single number.

nobody here can tell you what a result means for you

Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with A1c, not with what you concluded.

You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.

This is correct. ApoB is the better marker.

About c/bloodwork

What to measure before you start, what to re-measure, and how to interpret movement without panicking. ApoB over LDL-C, HOMA-IR as a crude free tool, ALT and the fatty-liver story, eGFR noise during rapid loss, and the deficiencies that a 1,100-calorie appetite will hand you.
