Magic 61!

Yesterday I had blood drawn to check cholesterol, glucose, liver function, etc.
Today was the results show.

Good news!
Cholesterol – was 260 – now 199 (61 points lower)
Triglycerides – were 365 – now 304 (61 points lower)
LDL Cholesterol – was 138 – now 99

Blood pressure and liver functions were both normal!

Glucose is still a bit high, so I’m going on a medicine for that.

We chatted about the new diet. I rambled on about Omega-3’s and sardines. The new plan is to stay on the cholesterol/blood pressure/glucose medicines until May and recheck. If things improve even more, we’ll start dropping the medicines (I’m on the lowest doses of each right now).
