Cholesterol Numbers/Bloodwork results. :)

[Guest guest]

My doctor just called me. He was alarmed at my cholesterol numbers.

Here they are:

Total cholesterol: 305

Triglycerides: 38

LDL (Bad): 208

HDL (Good): 89

He said my HDL #'s were great!! But he's alarmed at the rise of the

LDL, and wants me to come back and have it checked again in 6 months.

Someone posted a link to a site to check your cholesterol ratios, and

I'll have to do a search for it.

Biotin results will be back next week. All my other bloodwork looked

really good, he said, including testosterone, thyroid levels (free t3,

free t4 and TSH), etc...

He also said my blood sugar was pretty low at 63, but I don't know what

it's suppposed to be. My appointment was at 2:00, and I didn't eat all

day before that. I was very weak when I got home, but this diet is

making me very weak anyway. I was down to 127 pounds this morning.

Marina's results were great too. Her cholesterol rose from 132 last

year to 235. He said her HDL (good cholesterol) rose from 46 last year

to 94 this year, which is a very good thing. LDL was 135 and

triglycerides were 30. He said the increase in the HDL far outweighed

anything negative in the increase of LDL, as the LDL is only 5 points

higher than the recommended <130.

Here is the link to my post on how to figure out the ratios.

When I was told I had high cholestrol and then ran the ratio and told

the dr what it was he agreed I was in no trouble

Not really, Bee. I just wanted to post my numbers for anyone who might

be interested.
