The answers.

Thyroid is fine.

Metabolic panel was normal for liver and kidney function.

Cholesterol is awesome – HDL of 61 and LDL of 72; triglycerides a touch high at 142, but not horribly high like in my twenties when that part was hovering around 300.   I attribute the cholesterol levels to less cheese consumption and almost no cow’s milk consumption.

Yeah, yeah, about that A1C.  I’m at 6.5%.  This is my highest A1C ever.  At my type 2 diagnosis in March 2005, it was 6.4% and since then I’d been able to keep it between 5.4%-5.7%.  I have a battle plan in mind to lower this sucker, but that’ll have to wait for my next post.  I’m sulking tonight, thank you very much.
