So that leaves what, exactly?

I got my blood work back. The glucose test turned out much like I expected--high. It looks like I could technically be considered pre-diabetic. Yipee. Then there was the cholesterol. High. Ick. The doctor's notes on this report were thus:

abnormal - cholesterol - modify diet/exercise

repeat in 3-4 months

Um, thank you for the helpful advice on how to modify my diet.

Well, I guess I can go with an educated (by google) guess. Let's see, for the sugar, cut down on carbs and other sugar-like things. For the cholesterol, cut down on fat and such. Filter out the foods I don't like and we are stuck with green beans. Yes, I will now be going on an all green bean diet. Start sending the money my way, I have created the new fad diet! Be slim as a bean by only eating beans!

Now tell me, what am I supposed to do with the three cases of Dr. Pepper I bought yesterday? And the oreo cake in the fridge? One last hurrah before I start eating like a rabbit? Sounds good to me.

I am not sure about the Dr Pepper, but you can send that oreo cake my way!
I am sorry about the results...you are right..it doesn't exactly sound like your dr was overly helpful...but, umm..green beans are good. :)

Hey Christina! I'm sorry to hear about the high cholesterol. Nobody's ever mentioned mine at any checks, but I'd bet it's high, too. :-p I'm sure you'll do your research. It can't be too bad -- Cheerios is supposed to help, I think ... LOL at remembering that advertisement! :) I hope things are good in your life otherwise. We should talk again sometime soon! Take care, Melinda

Uhg, sorry about the bad blood work. I'll take that Dr. Pepper!!! I'm sure the Dr. Pepper can't be that bad for you as long as you're not drinking a ton of it every day? *hugs* Miss ya hun!
