| |  New Lab Results
Saw the endo today and got my latest lab results.
A1c = 5.7 (down from 5.8)
Creatinine, Serum 0.9 (was worried about this last time)
HDL Cholesterol 42 (a little low)
LDL Cholesterol 120 (down from 133)
Triglycerides 52
Overall, I'm very pleased with the results.  I was hoping for a lower a1c, but had a couple infections and a couple bad sets recently...

| | Hey, Cyborg, Congratulations  ! You're doing great- keep it up.
Oh, btw, if that offer still stands to take that 5.8 off your hands, I'd be happy to do so... .

| | | Ya know, complaining about a 5.9 a1c is a good way to piss people off.
But congrats, none the less! |
