One concrete data point for the thread. For anyone reading later: the numbers in this thread are worth checking against a primary source before you act on them, including mine. Half the figures circulating in this community trace back to a secondary summary that dropped a qualifier.
One thing that is still open after VanRx_Mike’s answer:
Did your prescriber agree with that reading, and if not what was their objection?

This is where I part company with the consensus forming above. The objection nobody has made: this only works if the measurement is doing what we assume it is doing, and that assumption has not been tested here.

No disagreement, though the timescale matters more than the mechanism here. Most of what looks like a difference in kind turns out to be a difference in how long somebody waited.
Correct me if the detail matters more than I have assumed.

Thank you — that is the clearest version of this I have read, and I have read a lot of them. I will report back once I have actually tried it.
