Before and after labs — cholesterol, A1C, all improved

Posted my comparison today at month 3. Happy to answer questions from anyone just starting.

What did your A1C look like before? Mine was borderline at the start and I'm curious how much of your drop came from the weight vs the med itself

I'm curious whether the A1C or the cholesterol tends to budge earlier.

Did the A1C move first for you too? Mine barely budged at my first draw, so I'm wondering if month 3 is just early for that one

Which marker surprised you most? For me the trigs number was the one I didn't expect to budge much

Which marker surprised you most? Mine was triglycerides, dropped way more than i expected by month 3

Mine took until around month 5 before the lipid panel looked any different, so a flat draw at 3 months wouldn't have surprised me. The A1C was the one that moved first for me too.

curious what your LDL did, since mine is the one number still sitting stubborn while the rest moved

Did your LDL actually move much by month 3, or was it mostly the A1C and trigs that shifted?

curious how much of the A1C change you'd put on the food side versus the med itself. I'm only a couple pounds in so my next draw probably won't say much.

My A1C was the stubborn one, still sat at prediabetic range at my 3 month draw, and it only really dropped after I stopped eating crackers at my desk all afternoon. Did yours move on its own or did you change anything else alongside?

Curious whether your doctor changed anything else alongside the meds, since my lipid panel was still ugly at month 3 even with the weight coming off

Did your doctor change anything after seeing the lipids drop, or just keep the dose where it was? Curious since I'm only a couple months in myself

Did your A1C keep drifting down after that first draw or flatten out? Trying to gauge what to expect at my next panel

Curious what your A1C was at the start, since mine barely budged at my first draw and I'm wondering if that's just how it goes early on

What surprised me was triglycerides dropping before the cholesterol number did. Did your doctor flag anything that still needs watching?

How much did the A1C move? That's the one I keep staring at on my own paperwork

My A1C was the one that surprised me, it dropped way more than I expected by month four. The cholesterol barely moved though, so yours shifting by month 3 is better than mine was

What did your A1C come back at? Mine barely budged at my first draw so I'm curious how yours went.

How much did your A1C move? I'm only a couple pounds down so my first draw is still ahead of me.
