I should post here more often, I know...problem is that work is keeping me busy, plus trying to come up with stories for my Examiner writing gig have been keeping me busy.
Okay, so now it's three months later. I've had another round of blood tests. And....these are the numbers:
Total Cholesterol: 197
HDL: 25
LDL: 139
Triglycerides: 167
a1C (Blood sugar numbers): 5.5
Mean glucose: 97
Liver numbers: Normal
TSH (Thyroid): 0.08
The only number that my doctor has a concern with right now is the TSH number, because it's still too low -- it's supposed to be between 1.0 and 2.0. I was given a lower dose of my thyroid medication three months ago, but it might need another adjustment in three months, so we will see.
But I'm proud of myself at this point. My numbers are good, and I'm feeling pretty good. Even my weight is continuing to go down -- I only have a couple of more pounds before I reach my current 10 pound goal, making me 50 pounds lighter altogether. I think I'm going to try to find ways to get my HDL numbers up like adding more exercise into my routine.
