Blood Work

Jonahsafta · 11-23-2009, 12:35 PM

I am beside myself...I just had my annual physical and bloodwork. I just called in for the test results! Everything is healthy and normal. They are supposed to mail me the specifics....My brother was just diagnosed with diabetes and had horrific bloodwork...so I was holding my breath....
Ill post the scores as soon as I get them! LOW CARB EATING WORKS!

Congrats on getting the hard and fast facts you deserve -- wave those in the face of any LC bashers that come your way! (And post your before and after numbers if you want, so we can wave them too!)

Good work, Deborah!

Yes it does! When I first started my cholesterol was just over 200 and within 6 months it was 157. Good Job!!

my tri-g's are down to 70 and my hdl is up to 149 (i've always have >125 hdl tho - so that's not strictly due to lc woe) but my tri-g's were over 300 before i went low carb!!

Hi Mary,

That HDL is amongst the highest I've ever heard of....fantastic....(149)! May I ask, do you exercise much?

Thanks,

maryvit · 11-24-2009, 07:42 AM

nope ... (no brag, sadly ... just fact)

Back to the gym starting January ... I'm mentally preparing for daily workouts now .... i just posted in another thread about how it takes me a couple months to work up to a new 'habit'

I'm just blessed with fantastic hdl

Jonahsafta · 11-24-2009, 09:36 AM

I keep checking the mail..if the results dont come in today....Im going over there tomorrow to get a copy in person...

I dont get challenged much on my eating plan, otherwise I would carry copies around!

BTW I changed my stats to reflect the dr's scale and now realize I may need to just go back to my scale since thats the one I weigh on more than once a year..
