Great news at the Dr's office.

I had my regular bloodwork and Dr's appointment today. My Dr. was pretty happy with the results.

I weighed 194.2 on his scale (195 on mine), which was down 22 pounds from my last visit.

My A1C dropped from 5.3 to 4.7

Total Cholesterol dropped from 145 to 135, LDL took a 20+ point drop to 68.4, Triglycerides were down 100 points to 123. He said all my other indicators including thyroid, kidney and liver function were normal, and if I hit 174lbs by my next appointment in six months he'd consider taking me off the last of my medication.

The only odd thing was that my blood pressure at the office was 130/90 which for me is pretty high. Other than that I'm really happy about the results.

Thanks for the replies! I'm still on a little high from it.

I also noticed that my HDL was up from 36 (a little low) to 42 (back in the healthy range).

That's what I'm guessing. I measure it at home and my little machine is 20 to 30 points lower on each side.
