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.
