Dramatic Changes in A1C and Lipids

Congratulations on those results....you should be proud! Keep up the good work

Great results............my test will be on Saturday, can't wait to see my numbers...........

Those are some amazing changes! You have totally turned around some serious health issues. Congratulations

Okay, so I really began the new year with another resolution, exercise every day. So far, I've kept it pretty well, only missing 5 days since Jan 1. But I did not really expect the changes in my A1C and Lipids. In mid-December, my test results were: A1C - 8.6, triglycerides - 331, HDL - 29, LDL - 68, total cholesterol - 163. My weight on January 2 was 278.

Now, after my daily exercise regimen, eating right, and watching the portions my weight is down to 228 and my test results are: A1C - 5.3, triglycerides - 60, HDL - 43, LDL - 40, total cholesterol - 95.

I LOVE this site and app!!!!

Congrats!! I go to see my Dr next month, hoping to see the simlar results as you.

I will get my results next week. Hoping for good numbers after 5 months of hard work. Your change in readings are awesome. Keep it up .

Congratulations!!! I am going this morning to see my endocrinologist! Hoping to have a great drop in my A1C too.... may be too soon for me though on my journey but this is very encouraging!!

So glad to hear this! Isn't it amazing how simply paying attention to what you are doing (or not doing) can make such a dramatic change in your life! Love MFP for the inspiration I get from stories like yours! I had my blood work done on Friday and go today for results. My A1c was elevated last visit so the doctor gave me 6 weeks to loose some weight and change my diet! It is working. Hope today will show how hard I have been working! Glad my doctor did the A1c. My fasting blood sugars have all been great over the last few years so I had no idea I had any problem. Anyone reading this should ask their doctor to do the test on them.
