Doctor visit......you can check that box!





I went to the doctors for my annual physical.  I have been very curious about where my numbers were and if this change in my diet has improved them.

First my doctor was very impressed with the big weight loss.  We had a short discussion about what I'm doing and what has made it so successful.  He encouraged me to continue with what is working.
We then reviewed my blood work numbers:

                          6/16       1/17
Cholesterol          189        147
A1C                     7.2         5.1
Triglycerides        525        119
Hdl                      33          36
Ldl                       89          56   
weight                 284         244
systolic BP           149         124


I was ecstatic with the numbers as was he.  There was nothing but good things to say.  The best thing is I have been downgraded from diabetic to manageable through diet.     The BP is down to normal levels, so that means that my one of my one year goals is complete.  BE OFF OF ALL MEDICATIONS.                

We can check that box....
