In anticipation of seeing my family physician, I went to the lab and had blood drawn last Friday. Well, as you can imagine, I was elated about all the numbers except the last one: damn glucose. ArrghhhHH!
Description | Result | Normal Range |
HDL | 54 | 35-75 |
Cholesterol | 147 | 125-200 |
Triglycerides | 116 | 10-190 |
Chol/HDL Ratio | 2.7 | Half the average risk factor: 3.3 for women Average risk factor: 4.4 for women Two times average risk factor: 7.0 for women |
LDL | 70 | 60-130 |
Insulin (Fasting) | 15.6 | 6.0-29.0 |
Glucose | 105 | 65-99 |
I thought about it. I think I am eating healthy and healthi-ER than I ever have. My other numbers substantiate that. The fact that my glucose puts me in the pre-diabetic category means:
- I need to exercise more.
- I need to eat the same or less.
- With #1 and #2, I will lose weight.
Exercise, exercise, exercise!!! Can you hear my whining from THERE???
