I finally got my blood work back. Of course, it takes time for the body to turn around and be in a state of perfect health.

My A1C number is great, but my cholesterol (LDL) is still too high. (I'm very happy with my HDL though.) I want to give my body a year to respond to the healthy lifestyle it is now receiving. The numbers won't go down overnight, and I'm going to let my body fight its way through the adjustment (of no meds). I'm still losing weight, and that will help, too.

I am thankful for a doctor who is willing to be patient with me.
