In today's mail came the results of my blood test labs from when I saw my doctor earlier this week on 08/17/2010 (my 12th day on FTS).
Results from my last visit (and blood draw) on 04/14/2010 are compared;
Total Cholesterol (then 153) (now 127) - Less than 200 is normal.
Triglycerides (then 122) (now 73) - Less than 150 is normal.
HDL (then 37) (now 34) - 40-60 is normal. Doc's note says this will go up soon with continued daily 30 min. walks.
LDL (then 92) (now 78) - Less than 130 is normal.
Blood Sugar (then 121) (now 107) - Less than 110 is normal. Higher than 125 after 2 tests is diabetic.
All numbers (except one, HDL) are showing marked improvement! And I've been on FTS for only two weeks!!!
I'll be seeing him again in 6 months. Hopefully, he'll take me off my meds then.
I'm thrilled!!!
