Diet modification results

Cholesterol results are in.  As you all know too well, I’d been very concerned that my levels might drop too low due to the dieting.  I have made modifications to my NutriSystem plan with the intention of preventing this.  I have decreased the carbohydrateI am pleased to report that what I am doing is working.  The total was 180, which is right where I want it.  HDL was 71, which is high on the lab’s scale.  I believe this is a good thing.  LDL was 100, and VLDL was 9.  Total to HDL ratio was 2.54, which is low on the lab’s reference range.  I believe this is also a good thing.  Triglycerides were 46, which is toward the low end of the scale.  I would say that my diet modifications have been successful.  I’ve been able to maintain healthy cholesterol levels, and that was my goal.  Glucose was 88, which is acceptable.
