Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / August 2007Lab results
Hi all, I have been waiting for my lab results from last Friday and have just heard from them via answering machine. I am sure that they have reversed two numbers in the FBS but here they are: FBS- 3.59 should be 5.39 (I tested 5.7 shortly before blood was drawn) A1C- 5.7 down from 6.2 May 2 LDH- 1.03 HDH- 2.21 I am in Canada and the LDH & HDH don't mean a lot to me but these are way different from two other old reports that I found from 2004 and 2005. The LDH is much lower and the HDH is somewhat higher. I hope these are good numbers too. I am pleased with the glucose results. Sally congratulations on all your hard work! i see it paid off! ;-) good job! congratulatons on your success. those numbers mean nothing to me, but if you are happy with them Sallyvel, then they must be good.

For US readers, on the assumption that LDH=LDL and HDH=HDL then the cholesterol numbers are: LDH=LDL:1.03=40mg/dl HDH=HDL:2.21=85mg/dl Sally, I'd query that glucose result, because that sort of error throws the other results into question too. If you are on any cholesterol lowering meds, such as a statin, you might want to ask the doc whether there is still a need. I'm not an expert but my gut feeling is that I wouldn't want LDL much lower than that. Susan might like to comment there. Was a trigs number included?

Susan might like to comment there. I wonder if those numbers are treated? LDL of 40 is way too low to support adrenal function. Folks usually don't know that all of our adrenal hormones are made from LDL cholesterol. Adrenal hormones include all of our sex hormones, such as testosterone and estrogen. They also include the hormones that regulate immunity, inflammation and electrolyte balance in our bodies. There's such a thing as too low when it comes to LDL.

The doctor's office was really busy today (I couldn't get through to them for over 20 minutes of constant trying) and when I talked to the nurse she had to call me back and left the results that I posted on our machine. I am sure that she transposed the 3.59 from 5.39 for the FBS (that is what my meter read- 5.7). I had other tests done but didn't get the results on the phone. I will try getting them verified and it is possible that the doctor has not seen them yet. He is pretty good about calling if results are out of range. I take crestor 10mg/day and have for a couple of years, also altace 10m and ASA 81mg. Thanks again for your input. Sally |
