Trigs are at 69, last test in Oct they were at 41 though. HDL now 56, Oct at 63 LDL now 94, last at 85 total 164, last at 156 I guess I shouldnt be concerned then! Blood glucose still a bit high too: gluc fasting at 137 (their norm below 99) HA1C at 5.9 (same as Oct)--non diabetic rate Just reviewed labs. Trigs are at 69, last test in Oct they were at 41 though.

Remember cholesterol doesn't cause heart disease, in fact is very beneficial. Populations with higher numbers usually live longer than those with low numbers. If there is any meaning would be to look at the individual numbers. You want to keep your trigs under 100 (mine are usually about 77, but came near 100 last time because of all the holiday food), that pretty much makes sure that your LDL is the big fluffy type. They've also found the the trigs and HDL numbers more closely predict heart disease than the much more maligned LDL (low trigs,high HDL are good). Remember though that even these are not causal things there really more symptoms or associations. Either way don't stress about it. Stress is horrible and I'm trying to reduce my fiancee's. I think that's her main problem. Got a few eating habits that should change but I can't make her. Of course you probably know most of this. Joe Sarena,

People probably don't think of food products as stuff, but it is. See if you can find the spot where Pepsi Raw fits in. http://www.storyofstuff.com Cheers, Anna Perhaps this is a good spot to suggest this great 20 minute video about stuff.

I haven't an inkling of where to start other than to say talk to Robb and Dr. G. They know their stuff and can probably point you in the right direction. Perhaps every 3 months "for sanity sake" is actually driving you nuts with worry? :) Cheers Scott Sarena, sorry to hear about the stress from your blood work.
