THE DOCTOR VISIT

Cholesterol 271 (high is >240)
HDL 50 (<55 greater coronary risk)
LDL 165 (high risk 160-189)
Triglycerides 284 (40-200 normal)
Glucose fasting 101 (normal <100)
A1C 6.3 ( normal 4.2-5.8)
BP 140/82..high for me. Weight loss will help
Lungs are clear... HOORAY At least there was good news here.

So I'm pretty borderline across the board, but certainly these things need addressed.
I have a new script for Crestor for the lipids, and Lovasa for the Triglycerides
He says to keep going with the diet, and definitely do the water aerobics.. (thanks, Jane)
I go back in January for more labs and another office visit.
