Bodyworks, numbers edition
Jul. 26th, 2016 11:43 pmHere are the latest numbers on me dealing with Chylomicronemia (that thing where my body, rather than digest fat, simply injects it directly into the bloodstream).
Total Cholesterol: 199
(200 is normal)
LDL Cholesterol: 85
(<100 is good for a diabetic patient, which I'm calling myself for now)
HDL Cholesterol: 42
(>40 is normal for males)
Triglycerides: 360
(151-399 is borderline high. It was around 3000 when I started treatment.)
Cholesterol/HDL ratio: 4.7
(4.0-6.7 is normal for males)
A1c: 6.7
(6.5-8 is good control for diabetes)
