| | | The rest of my numbers are
HDL - 1.55
LDL 1.76
Total Chol - 3.51
Triglicerides - 0.44
In January they were
HDL - 2.00
LDL 2.02
Total Chol - 4.33
Triglicerides - 0.69
I know zip about what these mean. It does concern me that my HDL dropped, but my new PCP who I met today over the phone said they were great, the best numbers she's seen all day.
I think I owe that last .1% to Novarapid. My numbers have been so much better since switching from Humalog a month ago. The scary part now is they are even better since I decided to low carb more two weeks ago. I have a thread to start about that elsewhere. |
