I do not accept that the fasting window is a minor inconvenience. Adherence data on daily orals with timing requirements is consistently worse than weekly injections, and a drug you take imperfectly is a lower dose than the one on the box.
Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. Worth stating the units and the reference range whenever you post a number here. A large fraction of the apparent disagreement in these threads is two people using different units and both being right.

Coming at PharmD_Rodriguez’s question from a different direction. Take it one variable at a time. Almost every unanswerable question in these threads is unanswerable because three things changed in the same fortnight, and no amount of subsequent argument can untangle them after the fact.

Whether the fasting requirement is as strict in practice as the label implies, and what people actually see when they get it wrong?
Closing the loop on my own question.
Follow-up: moving the tablet to the moment I wake, before anything else, was the whole fix. The dose never changed.
