I got my numbers last month when I went to the doc and since I had gotten a little lax during the summer months, my numbers sent me a warning I couldn’t ignore. She wanted me to repeat them after a month so, I was "good" last month. Strict low-carb. The day before giving my blood, I ate practically no carbs and I fasted 16 hours instead of the required 12:
Here's the breakdown:
Total Cholesterol:~Before: 245 H (ideal range: <239)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~After: 220 (ideal range: <239)

HDL:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Before: 36 (ideal range: >35)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~After: 34 L (ideal range: >35)

LDL:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Before: unable to calculate: triglycerides too high! (ideal range: <129)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~After: LDL: 137 H (ideal range: <129)

Triglycerides:~~~~~~~Before: 434 H (ideal range: <399)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~After: 243 (ideal range: <399)

So far not so bad, especially after just a month, right? Especially on the triglycerides and LDL front! [and they say low-carb doesn't work!) I know the HDL takes longer to adjust…
But then, there’s this:
Glucose:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Before: 124 H (ideal range: 60-115)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~After: 128 H (ideal range: 60-115)
So, can anyone tell me what gives? Where in the hell does my body find that sugar from? I am at a loss here. I am confident that my Cholesterol numbers will improve in time as long as I don't stray but the glucose thing puzzles me. What to do?
