A1c vs baseline labs — genuinely asking which matters more

I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 2 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…

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.
