Bloodwork

May 28, 2009

I had my lipids, iron, glucose and A1C checked by my PCP today, as well as my weight and BP.

Drumroll please..........

Cholesterol:        131!!!  It was 275 in September and with meds got down to 202 in March.
Glucose:    95  It had been around 108
A1C: 5.3
Iron:  13

Triglicerides:  114 (had been close to 200)
LDL:  77 (had been 130 to 200)
HDL;  32 (went down from 45)

HDL was the only item that was not in desired ranges.  Not sure why it would go down other than my diet is mostly protein so maybe the lack of fiber?  I need to explore that.

My cholesterol has never been below 190 - I am so happy!  I don't know if they will change the meds, but that's ok with me.

BP:  120/80.  I am on a very small dose of Atenolol, so I think they will take me off it.

Yay me!
