my fasting insulin moved and I cannot work out whether first time is why

Answered

Quick one. Canada here.

basics works very differently where I live than in the threads that dominate the front page, and I keep seeing people confidently given advice that simply does not apply outside the US.

Specifics: the route I used took 12 weeks and cost roughly what I expected. The admin was worse than the cost. The thing that would have saved me the most time was knowing which document to ask for at the start.

Happy to answer questions from anyone in the same jurisdiction.

This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.

The first time question took me three weeks to understand. Wiki explained it eventually.

Week 12 checking in: nothing on the scale, no nausea, wondering if the pen is broken. No, it is just week 12.

This is a good question, genuinely.

About c/newbiequestions

The deliberately gentle community. Every question that gets an eye-roll elsewhere lives here: what does titration mean, why do I feel nothing in week two, is this normal, what is bac water, what is a COA. Rudeness is removed faster than bad questions.
