Great Results!!!

I have been a part of a study at the U of MN for many years now. They are studying heart disease development and started studying me when I was in my early 30's. It is called Cardia. Last time, I think it was about 3 years ago, I had some bad numbers and was really worried about my health. Well, this last one, done last month, brought the following results: Albumin, my result=2, Less than 20 is optimal Total Cholesterol=156, Desirable Triglycerides=106, Desirable HDL=45, Desirable LDL=90, Desirable Fasting Glucose=79, normal GFR (creatinine)=94, normal kidney function Lung Function=normal "...the results of these tests suggest that you at very low risk for future heart disease. Keep up the good work!" You know, I did this for my health more than anything else. To hear this kind of news brings me so much joy!!!! Hugs to all! Jo

We all tend to worry about our numbers slowing or wanting to lose more weight... but the numbers you just shared there are the most important numbers. Those mean more than how many lbs to go. Good for you. It is all about being a more healthy and active person.
