Which lipid panel should I run on GLP-1?

A standard fasting lipid panel covers total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides, and that is enough for most people on a GLP-1. If your insurance allows it, ask for non-HDL cholesterol (every cholesterol type that is not HDL) and ApoB (the particle count). Either is a sharper signal of cardiovascular risk than LDL on its own, particularly when triglycerides are high. GLP-1 medications usually move LDL and triglycerides down within a few months, with HDL moving more slowly. A repeat at 3 to 6 months is usually enough to confirm a real change. Phaze plots every lipid value on its own trend so a 30-point LDL drop after starting Mounjaro shows up clearly, not as one number on a forgotten PDF.
