Just received my recent lab tests in the mail which represent a look at
my health following the 40 pound weight loss. I'm still seven pounds
over my "ideal" weight.Thinner Fatter
A1C 5.3 5.6
Triglycerides 92 124
HDL 60 55
LDL 87 94
VLDL 18 25
CHOL/HDL ratio 2.8 3.2
LDL/HDL ratio 1.5 1.7I expected better results on my lipids, but perhaps, with further
exercise and diet, they will improve. A modest portion of the 40 pound
weight loss was reflected in the "fatter" numbers which were taken 6
months ago, three months after beginning my exercise program.My doctor was happy with the results especially since I followed her
advice to eat more vegetables and I let her know that helped. Every
doctor needs a boost now and then.Re the A1C: Based on the lowered bg numbers I'm getting with the early
insulin therapy with tiny doses of insulin, (and the absence of hypos
that I used to get with the sulfonylurea) I believe it's possible to get
into the four's and not roller coaster.Dr. Bernstein, if you're listening, thank you for blazing the trail.
Two thumbs up for you :-)
