labs

This is what a healthy LoCarb Lab Profile looks like.

And believe me, I am not even trying at this point.

You can compare them to earlier labs 
here (link) and here (link)... if you wish....

PATIENT AGE: 052 (me!)

Tests done: CMB c Lipids and Ha1C

Glucose 81(65-99)

BUN 17 (6-24)

Creatinine 0.66(0.57-1.00)

BUN/Creatinine Ratio 26  (9-23)

(A little high, but the numbers themselves 

are so low, it does not matter)

Sodium 138 (134-144)

Potassium 4.1 (3.5-5.2)

Chloride 101 (97-108)

Carbon Dioxide 23 (20-32)

Calcium 8.9 (8.7-10.2)

Protein, Total 7.1   (6.0-8.5)

Albumin 4.3 (3.5-5.5)

Globulin 2.8 (1.5-4.5)

A/G Ratio 1.5 (1.1-2.5)

Bilirubin, Total 0.6 (0.0-1.2)

Alkaline Phosphatase, S 41 (25-150)

AST (SGOT) 19 (0-40)

(Those 2 numbers represent liver function)

Cholesterol 244 (100-199)

Triglycerides 59 (0-149)

HDL Cholesterol 119 (>39)

VLDL Cholesterol 12 (5-40)

LDL Cholesterol 113  (0-99)

Hemoglobin A1c 5.2 % (4.8-5.6)

Estim. Avg Glu (eAG) 103 mg/dL

(Down from last time @ 5.7!)

I did not do the VAP this time because I saw no need.

The total cholesterol is high, a little, 

but only because the HDL is soooo high - again!

LDL is up a bit, but the VLDL is in line, 

and again, I am not worried in the least!

The Triglycerides are great - despite the fructose 

I might have picked up in some recent bottles of wine!

Over all, the low PUFA diet 

AND LoCarb left me with little to eat but meat... Zero Carb...

and that might be ok, but it is none too handy.

So I guess you would call my diet Very LoCarb with moderate pufa.

I still watch PUFA's, but I don't try to keep it @ 4% anymore.

Too restricting! (Might be 10% but not more than that!)

Over all I am very happy! I got my blood work done at Direct Labs. 

In most states you do not need a Doctor's office visit, or Doctor's order.

Save some ca$h! Both tests were like $60 altogether.

I have no worries! 
Happy Labs to Everyone!
