The thing is, my triglycerides went down and that proves I have to be doing something right.
I am calming down. I was so crazed, I accidently signed in with my cl hat on. I am going to be extra vigilant with my eating. More salmon, nuts, soy, fruits, veggies, whole grains. I might go buy the fish oil supplement too.
Thanks for responding so quickly.

I thought that was true too. I am sure it is going to be redone with a fasting test. Just have to squeeze it in before Dec 5th. I am going to be so good and change those numbers. I have almost 4 weeks to do something about it. I will do some aerobic exercise even if my foot hurts!

Thank you for the link on cholesterol, Margie.
The reason I said no meds is that with every medicine there is a poison. Something with so many side effects worries me. DH was on statins
