MY BLOOD TESTS...

LATS · Jan 10, 2004

i have not had my tests done for a little while.. my wife wanted to get more life insurance for the both of us since we now have two kids.. so one early morning a little old lady was knocking at my door wanting me to piss and take my blood.. so i gave it to her..so here is the good news..creatinine (1.1) bun (14) glucose (101) bood pressure 120/78..
now the bad news...total cholesterol (268) hdl (33) and the ldl could not be calculated because my triglycerides were (620)..620???? what the f@#@!!...i have since could my doctor and had a discussion with him and he is upset that they did not tell us to fast for 12 hours.. hell, i ate right bfore i went to bed and she was here right when i woke up.. i am getting another test done next week and maybe things will be different..if not.. it is time to start watching my diet more. (i eat mcdonalds like crazy) and dropping bodyfat down to the 12% range and stop the "i am bulking up" shit..i want to hold all the muscle i can but, i am starting to look like louie anderson..

Fasting

Not much will change except blood sugar levels. Up the omega-3s to 15 tabs a day. I will call you later.

Typically, there is no special preparation involved in a cholesterol-screening test. You should follow your usual eating habits before your cholesterol screening, unless you are having a test that measures triglycerides. In that case, fasting for 12 hours before the test is required.

Well

If you slept for about 8 hours before the test, and had nothing to eat, your numbers wont change that much.

hry bro be happy you can eat like that and not get too fat. if i do that, i would gain 1 pound per day maybe 2. i have to diet just to maintain a 13-14% BF. its ridiculous. thats if im not on t3, clen. dnp. actually, if i dont eat clean, my face never stays lean, its always bloated from the carbs.
