I went for a full blood panel, A1C and cholesterol tests on Monday. Apparently my liver enzymes are high and my doctor called and wants me to go back in in two weeks and have another blood test. Joy..................... High liver enzymes (they said) could be cause by a number of reasons. Yay...........................
..........................
................... (NOT).
On the good note my cholesterol ROCKS!
Overall total: 165 down from 177
LDL: 107 down from 140
Triglycerides: 79 down from 117
HDL: is low @ 42 (and they want it to be over 50). I just can't seem to raise it either.
The SO-SO result: my A1C (blood glucose range for 3 months) is 6.3 down from 6.5. Now, considering I have been uber diligent in avoiding sugar n processed carbs, I'm happy but sorta let down. My Mom says that it's good, but, my optimistic side was hoping to get off of one of the 8 meds I am on.................
Overall mood right now: tired. (And craving popcorn.)
