My blood work from 4 years ago wasn't as horrific as I remembered it. It's sitting on my desk at work right now, but the biggest issues were triglycerides, high LDL and low HDL cholesterols. Exercise and diet should clear that up. We'll see once the results from the latest blood work comes in.
When the doc reviewed with me last time, I thought he said that I was prediabetic, but he must have said that my soft round middle was getting me close to it. My glucose numbers were at the upper end of normal, but it wasn't bad. Anyway, this time they ordered up the super-glucose test. It should be fine.
In terms of immediate feedback, my blood pressure was good. 120/70. I was also told to just keep doing what I'm doing and not to concern myself with "carb cycling," but also that there wasn't any harm in distributing more of my calories to protein. I was told not to concern myself with BMI or specific body fat percentages. Just choose whole grains over refined grains, monitor your calorie consumption, etc. Everything I already knew. Overall, it just confirmed that I'm losing at a healthy rate doing the right things to progress and maintain once I reach my goal.
