Got my results back on the Dr's appt.
Pre=11/2018
Post=3/2019
Triglycerides Pre: 193 Post:137
Massively improved, in the target category.
HDL: Pre:35 Post:27 Need to add flax back to my diet. May impact total carbs but necessary
LDL: Pre: 185 Post:144 Improved a lot, still needs work. Continue with current dietary levels.
Total Cholesterol: Pre: 264 Post: 208 Much improved, improvements in LDL will lower this into correct range.
Vitamin D: Pre:13 Post: 37.1 In correct range(although at bottom), need to spend 15 minutes/day in sun to improve naturally. Continue taking supplements.
TSH: Pre:4.4 Post: 3.070 Improved due to pills. Continue aiming for "ideal range" of .1 to .2
A1C: Pre: 7.1 (Out of control Diabetes)
Post: 6.1 (Pre-Diabetic)
HUGE IMPROVEMENT!!!!
Reached a point where diet won't improve it any more except over time. As I loose more weight and consistently have lower blood sugar, my insulin resistance will get better and this number will continue to lower.
Overall, based on results, I'm going to do the following:
1) Try to spend time in sun each day.
2) Add a flax cracker (13 grams) each day
3) Add a B-Complex supplement (Dr.s orders)
4) Continue doing everything else the same.

What wonderful results. Another thing that may help your HDL go up is exercise.

true liv001, however I'm already exercising ~5-6 times a week. I need to throw in a bit more strenght training, but hitting my goals there. (For the first time in my life)
I've discovered that swimming is an exercise that I can do and enjoy nearly every day.

Other thins is focus on good fats - saturated fats and some olive oil mostly. And avoid the bad fats. Flax is good. But there has been some questions about its estrogen mimicking ability lately. You may want to check up on that.

Good job! I'm working on my cholesterol too. Inherited high chol. and heart disease, but diet, krill oil, and exercise has helped me bring my numbers down. Thanks for sharing your numbers and your plans.

It will take more than one flax cracker a day to impact your level. You may want to consider some other options as well.

Here's a really nice B complex that has done wonders for my friends in terms of health and energy. I take a different supplement for veggies in it's place.

Great stats!!
I tried 1 TBSP daily flax oil. Didn’t work for me. Tried ground flax. Tried 4500 mg of fish oil daily (3,000 mg of that was Omega 3) and my HDL didn’t budge. Tried for 4 years and couldn’t get it past 30. Stopped taking it and at least my HDL didn’t drop. I don’t know what to do.
