follow-up question

[falcongrrl]

I got a postcard with my lab results for various things from the doctor. I'll post them just to see if any of you have comments, but they all appear to be normal. I guess I'm still going to the follow-up appointment, because some of the things they checked for (thyroid, etc.) aren't on the postcard.

Thanks for any info you can provide.


glucose - 96 (normal less than 100)
tg - 123 (normal less than 150)
cholesterol - 165 (normal less than 200)
HDL - 40 (normal greater than 55)
LDL - 80 (normal less than 130)
Ratio - 3.6 (normal less than 5.0)

The glucose, triglycerides, and cholesterol all are higher than I'd like them to be, with the HDL needing to increase. I guess I'm most curious about if the 96 fasting glucose level indicates prediabetes, being so close to the cutoff point, or if it means I'm completely normal.

Thank you. That makes a lot of sense to me.
