Getting my 6 month cholesterol test tomorrow.

My start/2 weeks into atkins resultcouldn't schedule it before starting!)

Total Chol: 148
HDL : 34
LDL : 99
Trig: 80
Glu: 101

I now no longer smoke, weigh 77lbs. less, and do some exercise 3 times a week.

I hope the HDL goes up due to not smoking and actually exercising. LDL should lower some and Trig maybe a little. I think my Trigs were higher to start but again I was already 2 weeks into atkins so they probably already lowered. My blood pressure to start was 130/90 and 2 weeks into the diet when the test was taken I was already down to 110/70. I have also noticed my pulse at rest is now 54 and used to be around 80! Wish me luck! Hopefully will get same day results but I don't know if my doctor has in-house testing equipment. Cardio health is very important since my father had triple bypass surgery at 43yrs old. I am only 25 but is never to early to test.

Thank you Dr. A!
