@mayblin do you recommend still getting the btm markers after a fracture. I fractured hip and wrist 5 months ago and going for labwork next week.

Honestly I don’t know what I would do. If I know ahead of time that my insurance will cover the tests, yes I will.

This ‘baseline’ will likely be affected by the fractures. It might take a few more months to have a trending btms. With that said, P1NP may still have a meaningful increased reading after first couple of months to show tymlos’ anabolic effect. The readings of CTX and P1NP may just be off for a while.
