week 61 check-in — 46kg down, early fullness manageable, one thing confusing me
Genuinely asking, not being difficult.
Everyone in c/t2dglp1 repeats that baseline labs is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 14 threads of people agreeing with each other.
Is there a paper? Is there a measurement? Or is this one of those things that is true because it has been repeated since 2023?
I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.
best — the order this archive was captured in
I am going to push back on this slightly.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 67 weeks to accept.

Adding to this: ferritin is doing more work than the comment implies.
eGFR noise during rapid loss is expected

Disagree on that part. 95.1% and 96.2% on the same vial is normal.
nobody here can tell you what a result means for you
ferritin from 21 to 29 is movement, not noise
ferritin tanks quietly on a reduced appetite, check it
Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.
Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
Small correction: the trial was 4 weeks, not 19. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
