comment on ApoB over LDL-C and i will keep saying it in c/bloodwork · 11 points · 3 days ago
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
comment on [Explainer] area% is not mass% and here is exactly why it matters in c/coa · 8 points · 6 days ago
purity and net content are two different numbers, same vial
Disagree on that part. 95.1% and 96.2% on the same vial is normal.
comment on [Denied] employer carve-out was in the plan document, not the summary in c/insurancefights · 1 points · 7 days ago
Yeah, the denial code matters, it tells you what to fight.
comment on [Suspicious] identical chromatogram on two different compounds from the same vendor in c/coa · 32 points · 8 days ago
area% is not mass%, and here is exactly why it matters
comment on [Win] approved after i sent them their own policy criteria back in c/insurancefights · 16 points · 9 days ago
Strongly agree. Step therapy is predictable if you have the criteria.
comment on [Discussion] FFMI not weight, or you will celebrate losing muscle in c/glp1muscle · 6 points · 9 days ago
Second this question.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on [Question] does the copay card stack with anything or is that a myth in c/insurancefights · 31 points · 11 days ago
I am going to push back on this slightly.
comment on [Data] BIA vs DEXA on the same day, 6% apart, pick a method and stay with it in c/glp1muscle · 4 points · 11 days ago
This is correct. DEXA is the standard.
comment on [Question] creatine while eating 1,400 calories — worth it in c/glp1muscle · 3 points · 17 days ago
FFMI tracking requires body composition
comment on week 26 check-in — 31kg down, muscle cramps manageable, one thing confusing me in c/bloodwork · 9 points · 28 days ago
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
comment on [Discussion] the ferritin advice in here is 19 years out of date in c/bloodwork · 41 points · 1 months ago
Baseline A1c: 97.9. Week 69: 97.4. Same lab, fasted, same time of day. Trend matters.
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about eGFR until somebody posts a number in c/bloodwork · -16 points · 1 months ago
baseline is the most important A1c measurement, you cannot collect it later
comment on [Question] Poland — has anyone got a straight answer on related substances in c/coa · 0 points · 1 months ago
Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.
comment on [Discussion] the copay advice in here is 4 years out of date in c/insurancefights · 2 points · 1 months ago
copay is separate from coverage
comment on [Meta] proposal — a flair for FFMI posts in c/glp1muscle · 20 points · 1 months ago
Second this question.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on someone explain PBS to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/glp1aus · 92 points · 2 months ago
No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
comment on denial — my 12-week log, condensed into one table in c/insurancefights · 2 points · 2 months ago
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with step therapy, not with what you concluded.
comment on baseline labs — 12 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/bloodwork · 11 points · 2 months ago
My eGFR went from 5 to 4 in 11 weeks. The ApoB story shows up in the trend, not the single number.
comment on is it normal to get the food-noise thing at week 40 in c/coa · 30 points · 2 months ago
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify lipids in c/bloodwork · 3 points · 2 months ago
That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
