[Results] 61 weeks on 12.5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring
Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud.
The advice on lipids in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with the same confidence.
I have listed what I think the current consensus is below. Correct me — that is the point of posting it.
best — the order this archive was captured in
No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
HOMA-IR is crude but free and useful for tracking
I am going to push back on this slightly.
Strongly agree. ALT is where you catch the liver story early.
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with eGFR, not with what you concluded.
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
baseline is the most important eGFR measurement, you cannot collect it later
Do you have baseline to compare to?
ALT is where the fatty-liver story shows up first
What are your reference ranges?

nobody here can tell you what a result means for you
TSH from 15 to 35 is movement, not noise
the 23 month bloodwork check is the routine

Not to be pedantic but A1c and lipids are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.
HOMA-IR is crude but free and useful for tracking
eGFR noise during rapid loss is expected
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.
Baseline ferritin: 98.3. Week 89: 97.9. Same lab, fasted, same time of day. Trend matters.
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
