hsCRP tracking — inflammatory marker reduction on GLP-1

ApoB is the more informative number and it is cheap.

Filing a mild objection. Mild because I might be wrong; an objection because nobody has addressed the case that does not fit. Import rules are jurisdiction-specific and this board keeps giving US-shaped answers to non-US questions. What is a personal-import allowance in one country is a controlled-import offence in another.

Living somewhere the domestic route does not exist, which makes most of the advice on this board inapplicable to me.

International shipping tracking for cross-border ordering orders: my experience with customs in the US when ordering from overseas:

Required FDA import alert review, delayed 10 days.

Tips: always include a copy of your prescription, declare medication properly on customs forms, keep quantities reasonable (personal use = 3 month supply max), and use a vendor who has experience shipping to your country.

Coming at Dr.AddMedPHL’s question from a different direction. There is a difference between no evidence and evidence of no effect, and this subject is one where the two get swapped freely in both directions.

That is the short version; the long version is somebody else's post.

One thing that is still open after alex_tucson’s answer:

Whether an unchanged LDL-C alongside a large triglyceride fall is a good result or a bad one, because ApoB and LDL-C seem to be telling different stories?

Closing the loop on my own question.

Update, and it is the boring outcome: nothing was wrong. The measurement I was reading had moved less than its own week-to-week variation, which somebody said upthread and I did not believe.
