Good News…

bad news.
Not so great news.

I finally got a call from the Doctor with test results from my appointment Last Week. Someone from his office called and left a message that they were in on Friday, but that was 4 minutes before they closed for the weekend. So, I worried myself sick. Until 6pm when he FINALLY called with the results.

Good news-my sugar numbers are good. That has been the case for the past 2 tests. (since the OB diagnosed me with Insulin Resistance and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in February) I am confident that I know what my body can and can’t handle in this area.

Unfortunately, that is the ONLY thing I have gotten regulated (so far with out prescription medication).

My bad Cholesterol is high (like REALLY high) and my good is low-and my vitamin D levels are also extremely low. He said he thought that may be the case and that was a new test that had been added to the blood they take (so now two tubes instead of one-gee thanks).

So, right now we are going to try 4000 UI of Vitamin D a day and see if that helps get some of these numbers under control-if not it looks like statins are in my future.

Honestly, I am to young for this crap.

So, back to watching every little thing I eat and keeping away from some of my very favorites and ramp the exercise back up to 50 minutes of cardio a day. Which is going to be interesting since we canned the YMCA. (but we do still have the Fitness channel)

I need to be accountable.
I feel several blog topics on this in the future.

    Wow! I like the new look!

    That’s rotten about the statin drugs…maybe you can get it down with more exercise?

    Yuck. Now I am even more afraid to go to the doctor!

    I have started exercise and I think that is what is helping with my sugar levels.

    I am going to ramp it up even more and watch other things as well-fat is a sneaky bugger-its everywhere.
    (and on my mostly around my middle)

    Don’t be afraid of going to the doctor-but listen to your own body and when you KNOW something isn’t right, don’t give up because they don’t believe you.

    (oh another blog post!)
