>>question on tryglicerides

Time to do your part and contribute to pharma industry revenues. :)

Obviously there was a marked improvement using your new regimen (what was it?), but only from terrible to bad. HDL still too low, blood sugar somewhat high (was it a non-fasting level in which case it might be OK?), triglycerides still much too high.

Basically you need to also be on a statin (generic Zocor) plus maybe Niaspan (Abbott) to get your HDL up. High-dose fish oil (Lovaza - GSK) might be necessary to get your triglycerides down, or you can just take lots of OTC fish oil or krill oil. Exercise and a better diet will certainly help too but I doubt if they will be enough by themselves. Next time have doctor test HbA1c instead of blood sugar.

Standard "I-am-not-a-doctor" disclaimer applies.

(Note it's spelled "triglycerides" - if you search using your spelling who knows what flaky sites you will find).
