Not sure on a few of the things makred but he definitely has diabetes

and high cholesterol..hopefully both of these can be adjusted with

diet. But he does need follow up with a regualr doctor..

Did he have this blood drawn in the morning or in the afternoon? If he

works or is awake during the day, this might be an easier task to go

completely without food or drink, etc....but if he's a night worker, it can

be quite tempting (or even forgetting!) to have a little food. I'm a night

worker, so it's easier and less tempting for me to sleep all day, have a

blood draw late in the afternoon, when I wake up, etc....

Has he been treated for an anaemia-eg iron B12 folate or for some reason

added thses into his diet or chaged from vegetarian to meat eating?

or does he run seriously or do karate or play the bongos or box?

*GLUCOSE 171 (60 - 125 MG/DL)

he needs a HBA1c done to check long term glucoses control

triglycerides rise when the diet is high in carbohydrates- expecially easy to

convert ones. and in europe tryiglycerides are considered a better judge of

heart risk thanb the cholesterols - they are particularly imposrtant marker in

pre-diabetes or syndrome X.

However a changed diet to one low in processed foods and especially low in

things like white rice pasta and grains can reverse this process fully and

prevent the damage done by a high blopd glucose level.

A good book to read is 'DR Bernsteins Diabetic Solution.'

http://www.diabetes-normalsugars.com/ - for anyone on the diabetic spectrum. I

had similar results 6 years ago but i stabilised my blood glocose and normalised

it by payting attention to diet.

AND both high cholesterol (definitely) and diabetes

(possibly) often have a link to low thyroid -- so,

even though his thyroid results are in the normal

range, I think it would be great to test his basal

temperature and pulse. Topper has a great website that

goes into this, I believe -- or if you are interested

in details, write back and I'll explain the process of

how to get accurate results.

Well, he's not a morning person and we had a late

dinner the night before, around 11:30 pm. His draw

was about 12:30 pm the next day. He could very well

have slipped up and taken a swig of a soda, although

he says he didn't. He is also ADD and has trouble

concentrating and remembering stuff.

Ok, lets see if I can answer these concisely. )

No, he has never been treated for any sort of anemia

to my knowledge. Just his ADD with hyperactivity.

His physical activity level is not good. He tends to

be a couch potato. His diet has not changed, much to

my chagrin.

As for the glucose, his father is diabetic and I know

he has/had other relatives who are/were diabetic. It

does run in his family and seems I've heard that

having Native American ancestry can make one more

predisposed to be diabetic. I do agree that he needs

to have his HbA1c done.

His triglycerides aren't very high (much better than

mine), but he does eat a very carb heavy diet. He's

definitely a meat and potatoes type. I've seen him

sit down at a Cracker Barrel and order dumplins and

mashed potatoes as his side dishes with his meat. I

do fuss at him about it and I force feed him vitamins

when I can. His father also has heart disease and Len

does tend to carry his weight in his belly. He knows

he needs to exercise (don't we all?), but it's been so

danged hot lately that he just doesn't get out to

walk. He works over a hot grill for his job and I

also fuss at him all the time about drinking soda

instead of water. He's getting better about it.

Ok, lets see if I can answer these concisely. )

No, he has never been treated for any sort of anemia

to my knowledge. Just his ADD with hyperactivity.

His physical activity level is not good. He tends to

be a couch potato. His diet has not changed, much to

my chagrin.

As for the glucose, his father is diabetic and I know

he has/had other relatives who are/were diabetic. It

does run in his family and seems I've heard that

having Native American ancestry can make one more

predisposed to be diabetic. I do agree that he needs

to have his HbA1c done.

His triglycerides aren't very high (much better than

mine), but he does eat a very carb heavy diet. He's

definitely a meat and potatoes type. I've seen him

sit down at a Cracker Barrel and order dumplins and

mashed potatoes as his side dishes with his meat. I

do fuss at him about it and I force feed him vitamins

when I can. His father also has heart disease and Len

does tend to carry his weight in his belly. He knows

he needs to exercise (don't we all?), but it's been so

danged hot lately that he just doesn't get out to

walk. He works over a hot grill for his job and I

also fuss at him all the time about drinking soda

instead of water. He's getting better about it.

yes if eating a 'western diet' rather than native diet - eating the

they are not good in combination with that blood glucose. Getting the

potatoes and rice will have a knock on effect on his overall health

No, Adderall. He was tried on a new one called

Stratera, but it caused some strange side effects for

him like getting an erection when he needed to urinate

and not being able to go until it went down. His

doctor at the time said that she'd never heard of such

a thing, but when I looked it up online, it was one of

the leading problems reported.

No, he's southern through and through and there's

really nothing native about his diet. He eats what he

or his mother cooks. Just typical southern country

style food.

He also needs to become more active, as well as should

I. It's just so danged hot here right now that it's

impossible to do anything outside. Even at night it's

been in the mid 80's for a low. I've been trying to

encourage him to eat a more balanced diet and he does

actually think about it sometimes when I'm not there

to remind him.

Just a heads up, Adderall only lasted for about 6 months on the

Canadian Market before it was pulled for health reasons..

Strattera induced priapism might account for the increased rdw as most times

this happens the red cells have been made fragile by drugs or a cell memberane

problem
