my lab results are back

Hi guys! Just sharing the happy news. I just got my lab results in the mail from my PCP, the usual labs he does every 3 months, and OMG, they are so great he wrote WOW in big letters across the copy! I am so pleased that this tool is working and that the hard work I'm doing is now showing. My cholesterol is 123 (was 250) HDL 43 (was 22 before I started exercising, above 40 is really good) LDL 54 (the bad cholesterol, should be less than 130, was 200) cholesterol/HDL ratio is 2.9 (should be less than 4.5) Diabetic level HgBAIC is 5.4, the level of a normal, non-diabetic person, before surgery it was very poorly controlled on 3 meds and was 8! Anyway, I'm so thankful and blessed to have this tool to use! I hope I keep this atitude for years to come! Hugs! Bonnie lap rny 6/3/05 264/164/149
