[QUOTE="CherryAA, post: 1619611, member: 327005"] Cholesterol the tests you need to know are what is your HDL, your LDL and your triglycerides as well as the total cholesterol. Once you have these people here will be able to hep you interpret them. I would fast first - as it makes the results easier to interpret. Also if possible take a fasting glucose test at the same time as the Hba1C and blood draw. Once you have both your glucose and triglyceride figures on a fasting basis, you will be able to also look at how " insulin resistant " you are. Don't worry too much about the details for the moment, you will soon learn what this all means! In summary hab1C plus fasting blood glucose test Total cholesterol, LDL, HDl, Triglycerides all of these are standard measures You should also ask for a full lipid profile that will give information for measures such as AST, GGT, Thyroid function Finally if he is feeling at all generous ask for a Vitamin D test. once you have whatever data you can get, someone here will be able to help your interpret it . good luck [/QUOTE]
