[Question] New Zealand — has anyone got a straight answer on insulin resistance
Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom.
I have been tracking PCOS against eGFR for 5 weeks because I could not find anyone who had. The correlation is weaker than I expected, which is itself mildly interesting given how confidently people link the two in here.
Caveats up front: one person, one lab, one assay, no control, and I changed my training in the middle of it, which was stupid.
tl;dr: probably real, definitely smaller than the threads imply, and not worth reorganising your week around.

Strongly agree. Cycle changes are documented.
Has anyone actually got this in writing, or is it forum lore at this point?
What was the batch number and which service?
no cycle-tracking data with identifying details
How many weeks between the two measurements?
no cycle-tracking data with identifying details
Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.
My version of this: I was so worried about the injection that I put it off for eleven days. The injection is the easiest part.
the cycle question is under-powered in trials
perimenopause and menopause weight physiology
Not to be pedantic but PCOS and insulin resistance are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
Strongly agree. Cycle changes are documented.
hair-loss on PCOS is real

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
Strongly agree. Cycle changes are documented.
Not to be pedantic but perimenopause and contraception are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 33 weeks to accept.

The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.
This is correct. PCOS is real.
What was the batch number and which service?
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

hormonal contraception interactions are speculative
