π You are more than your PKU.
π± Maddison, 27, drifted from the PKU diet as a teen β the pressure of being "different" got too much. Now she's working her way back to it while juggling full-time work and college.
Her message: "Keep trying and keep advocating for yourself! You can do it and always ask for support when you need it."

My thanks to Maddison for Sharing her Story

So two years later, the results of the study for the PKU home testing kit in which I participated has finally been published: https://doi.org/10.1002/jimd.70187
While they try to frame things positively in the paper, looking at the numbers it seems to me that it's just a little too unreliable. My understanding is also that without some investor, they won't be able to productise it anyway.
For now it seems they are focussing on other parts of the phenyx app (https://phenyx.de/).

I've realised I haven't posted here in a while. Also, haven't posted about movies, books, or PKU.
PKU - my last result was 325umol/L, which is good news but a little higher! I did change the diet so that was kind of expected, was actually lower than expected π€―
Movies: Watched Ready or Not 2: Here They Come. It was fine, kind of like TWKY but not quite so supernatural.
Books: How long have you got? π€£

RE: https://pkutalk.com/@soheb/116188606885004550
The results for this bloodspot was 227umol/L!
My weight lifting seems to be helping quite a bit with the bloodspots! Also, I've rounded down with my exchanges, which has helped quite a bit (I rarely ever hit 2 exchanges exactly).
I'm trying to cook my own food now to cut down on visceral fat that my weighing scales report back, so next results should be interesting...
Nailed it, as usual π
