The distinction that resolves most of these threads is between what is true on average and what is true for one person.

Same experience, arrived at from the opposite direction.

Worth stating the units and the reference range whenever you post a number 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.

Thank you for spelling out the reasoning rather than just the conclusion. Sending this to two other people who asked me the same thing last week.

Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. Start from the measurement rather than the conclusion. Almost every disagreement here turns out to be two people measuring different things and comparing the numbers anyway.

Moderator note: the sourcing question belongs in the vendor section and has been split out. No action needed from anybody.
