So Dr. Salehi had me do the blood test and I went in for the result. She wanted me to take statins drugs again. I don't know why she forgets we decided not to go that way. Actually the total cholesterol of 285 is good compared to the 360 I had for years. I just looked at them all again and it has been a lot worse. My HDL was 65 which Kaiser said is good and just advised me to watch my diet. We will see what the heart doctor says.
However, the micro-albumin/creatinine ratio was 40 and 30 is normal. She recommended I see my urologist which will be easy to do as she is just up the road from where I will be living in Del Mar. However, I had just had a Uti and been on antibiotics so that may have made a difference plus I was on the ibuprofen for the pain, too this last month. Anyway I am in much better shape than I have been at times. I should walk more than 10 minutes a day though now that outside yard work has almost ceased with the colder weather. And I should renew my dancing!!!
I see in 1996 it was recommended I lose 52 lbs so I need to lose 2 more!!!
Nothing said about my blood sugar.
But I am back on my low carb, no sugar and making my own food. Today I made the white beans baked with tomato juice, honey, vinegar, seasonings and ham hock. And it is delicious! Tomorrow I will do the homemade yogurt again and the spaghetti sauce and I know that is good. Plus I have the spaghetti squash for my pasta sub.
I also found Fodys online which because of the fodmaps has all kinds of sauces, etc that are ok to take. It is expensive though.
