[Discussion] can we stop arguing about A1c until somebody posts a number
Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful.
Setup: 7.5mg, week 70, sulphur burps present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — ApoB — and tracked it for 18 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.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
ApoB over LDL-C, that is the hierarchy
nobody here can tell you what a result means for you
baseline is the most important bloodwork measurement, you cannot collect it later
Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.
Slight fix: the number was 99.2, not 99.1. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
Slight fix: the number was 99.2, not 99.1.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
