OK MyFitnessPal friends. Awhile back I reported that I was on the DASH (dietary approaches to stop hypertension) Diet. I saw my doctor on December 14 and he ordered blood tests as well. Yesterday I received the results and they were dramatic. My glucose fell from 117 to 90 (65 to 99 is normal), triglycerides from 237 to 100 (30 to 150 is normal) and my HDL cholesterol rose from 33 to 40 (40 to 100 is normal). My doctor also cut the dosage of my blood medication in half. Those results were achieved after just for 4 months of being on the diet. My sodium intake is closer to 3,000 mg than 2,000 on most days but things are looking up. Can't wait to see my numbers at my next physical in June.
