My blood work is in -- and it is not horrible but with room for improvement. My fasting blood sugar is still above 100 -- 105 -- but they didn't do an A1C this time, so the doctor says it's hard to interpret the fasting blood sugar. But everything is just slightly out of whack: cholesterol slightly high, thyroid slightly low. My thyroid meds were adjusted very slightly, and then I'll go back in six weeks for new blood work. If the thyroid reading is still off, then they will up the levothyroxine and test thyroid and cholesterol again six weeks later, because historically, my cholesterol has dropped whenever my thyroid meds have been adjusted. So it's actually possible that if they get the thyroid right, then my cholesterol will drop below 200 again, and I won't have to worry about taking statins. This is very complicated, especially since the only way I can think of to lower my dietary cholesterol is to go on the Bill Clinton diet -- pretty much nuts and berries only. Just gotta keep working my plan and staying on the straight and narrow, and maybe as I lose weight, everything will fall into place.
