I had a physical for the first time in a long while last May. I plan to have one yearly now. This spring I put it off but I did schedule one recently, although my doctor isn’t available until October so it will be awhile yet. Here are the results of my blood test from last year. I’ve gained 10 pounds since then so I expect them to be worse this year. But hopefully they will move in the right direction from this point on.
Test | Result | Interval |
Glucose | 89 | 70-120 |
Cholesterol | 182 | 0-200 |
LDL-Cholesterol | 128 | 0-130 |
rev Triglycerides | 90 | 0-199 |
HDL-Cholesterol | 36 | 46-86 |
Total Cholesterol and LDL close to upper end of desired range, and HDL is too low.
These numbers are part of the scorecard I need to use to measure my progress. Another are pictures, which heaven help me I’ll be putting up soon.
