[Baseline] get these before you start, you cannot go back for them later
Been lurking in c/reconstitution for about 12 months and finally have something worth posting.
Short version: week 26, 1.7mg, and baseline labs is the bit I still cannot get a straight answer on. I have read the wiki, I have read the last 3 threads, and the answers split roughly down the middle.
What I actually want to know is whether the people saying it does not matter have measured it, or whether it is just repeated confidently. Happy to be told I am overthinking this — I probably am — but I would rather overthink it now than at week 32.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Ferritin tanked from 11 to 25. Small appetite, reduced iron intake, nobody was testing it until I asked.
Ferritin tanked from 2 to 27. Small appetite, reduced iron intake, nobody was testing it until I asked.
baseline is the most important bloodwork measurement, you cannot collect it later
ALT is where the fatty-liver story shows up first
nobody here can tell you what a result means for you
baseline is the most important A1c measurement, you cannot collect it later
Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.
HOMA-IR is crude but free and useful for tracking
Baseline eGFR: 99.3. Week 27: 99.1. Same lab, fasted, same time of day. Trend matters.
Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.
Same lab both times?
This is correct. ApoB is the better marker.
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.

What are your reference ranges?
Ferritin tanked from 2 to 39. Small appetite, reduced iron intake, nobody was testing it until I asked.
A1c moves slowly, quarterly is plenty
