Congratulations:-) Remind us - what were they when you first came here? And what are your secrets? Incidentally - that's the first lab report I've seen with a defined range for VLDL - good one.

I would have to see if I still have the records, but I think somewhere between 7.5 & 8.0 I was fortunate to be diagnosed early on. > And >what are your secrets? If I have any it is following what I have learned from others here. You know, like postprandial testing, eating to my meter, having a go at walking on a regular basis and I have been losing weight very slowly. Of course I have also been on a "See food diet" for a long time. The difference is that mine involves paying attention to everything that goes into my mouth. Through postprandial testing and eating to my meter I have found some foods that I need to avoid. Laurie and I both read the labels on almost everything to buy to check the carb count and recommended serving size. I am on 5mg Glipizide per day and twice a day I take 1,000 mg Metformin. I would love to lose enough weight to be able to reduce the amount of meds. My blood pressure is under better control since I have lost weight and exercise more. >Incidentally - that's the first lab report I've seen with a >defined range for VLDL - good one. I guess since I always go to the same lab I didn't know that others don't do that. I make it a habit to ask any doctor who wants lab work to please be sure to mail me a copy. >Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia. Our doctor has complimented us both on knowing what is going on in our bodies and not being afraid to call or come in when we have something wrong that others might consider trivial. He told us the first time we visited him to please not wait until we were seriously ill to come see him. Other than those things, I think I am just blessed just for today. -- Grandpa Chuck -ô¿ô- ~ A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle, and twice the brightness can then be shared by all.

Vicki Very good A1c and cholesterol profile! Looking at the rest of what you posted, did the doctor explain the abnormally low hemoglobin and hematocrit readings and the elevated white cell counts and liver enzyme? --Jenny http://www.geocities.com/lottadata4u/ Type 2 Diabetes info http://www.geocities.com/jenny_the_bean/ Low Carb info >Very good A1c and cholesterol profile! > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >--Jenny I am taking Methotrexate for my psoriasis. It may have an adverse effect on the liver. Consequently, I have those checked every two weeks. My dermatologist did explain those number are a bit out of range, but within permissible guide lines for me. If they get too far off I will go off the Metho for a couple of weeks, retest, then if necessary wait another two weeks and do it again. Only if the numbers return to normal would I be allowed to go back on it. The results of all of those tests go to my doctor that it treating my diabetes too. As a matter of fact, I have all lab results sent to both doctors. -- Grandpa Chuck -ô¿ô- ~ A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle, and twice the brightness can then be shared by all.
