i'd think they'd at least re-test before 3 months w/those numbers.
hey smitty...are you going to the laplata veterinarian clinic?

I'd say your gravy intake might be a bit too high.

:D no

I have heard it from a few people and I also heard it on one of the medical programs on the radio.

But why would you want it to show less? Wouldn't that be defeating the purpose of being tested in the first place?

Exactly. Take out the IV.

well shit...i almost always drink 2-3 beers a night. i fast from around 7pm the night before blood work, but that's after the beer.

As long as the taters are not fried you are fine, and the meat is lean.

they tried to find a good vien, but came out with a LJS chicken plank

Saves from having to pay for those expensive drugs that doctors start you out on since they have help pay for those freebies from the drug companies.

Are you sure it was cholesterol and not TRIGLYCERIDES?

That's a good question. With a cholesterol level of 740, he may be officially categorized as beef.

smitty, you might consider hanging a bell around your neck until you get this cleared up. Meanwhile, I'm posting smoked chicken and salad recipes in the bbq threads.

I have never heard of 740. You should take this serious though, it will not go away on it's own.

Take it from a guy that had 5 heart "incidents" in the same week, and had to have four heart stints installed.

My highest cholesterol to my knowledge, was just under 200. It was less than 50 last time I had a test.

You need to learn to love veggies, fruit, fish and stay away from eating anything white. (bread, pasta etc.)

The National Cholesterol Education Program guidelines for triglycerides are:

Normal Less than 150 mg/dL
Borderline-high 150 to 199 mg/dL
High 200 to 499 mg/dL
Very high 500 mg/dL or higher
These are based on fasting plasma triglyceride levels.

Stay away from eggs, dairy and meat my friend. I didn't know this was possible. You need some salads in your diet for sure, wow.
