I am confused (nothing new for me). When I had baseline BTM run, I was not told to fast for 12 hours. It is possible that I had a bedtime snack 9-10 hours before the blood draw and I did have a cup of coffee with sugar in the morning. My CTX value was 210. Would I want to lower that further or raise the N1P1 value (which was 50)? Evenity was recommended but I am opposed to the one-size-fits-all approach.

@normahorn apparently some of us have lowish CTX's naturally after menopause, relatively speaking. Post menopause the reference range is 104-1008, and after 70 it is 152-858. I have questions about the effectiveness of, say, Reclast with a CTX that is, say, 180-210, meaning yours and mine!
My P1NP was 54 before treatment and after 18 months on Tymlos it was 40, then 35. Reference range for normal is 16-96 in one lab and 20-108 in another lab for under 60 years of age. I wish I knew what it was while Tymlos was active because after 18 months it wasn't.
Tomorrow I am having both tests after one shot of Evenity and will post my results. That might help you with the decision-? I expect P1NP to be high (if it is working) but CTX not yet affected by Evenity since it was one shot.
