The Edge Of Madness

So I went in for my 2 year eye test the other week.

Nothing too bad, my left eye was slightly worse (.25 worse). Right eye the same.

But the optometrist was looking in my eyes and said, you better get a cholesterol test done, as I see a lot of fat in the veins in your eyes.

So off I go to do that.

First the good news. Blood pressure perfect. Liver perfect. Sugar a little high, but only marginally.

Cholesterol bad.

I got a print out of the results, so I could google it to make sure they weren't just freaking me out.

Serum HDL Cholesterol level = 0.99 mmol/L
Serum LDL cholesterol level = 3.87 mmol/L

LDL is high according to wiki

and HDL is too low again according to wiki

The ratio is meant to be important as well, and my ratio sucks. HDL is good, LDL is bad, so need high HDL, low LDL.

I made the mistake of taking Lana along with me to here the results. Now I've been banned from steaks, and I've got to eat this stupid little yogurts every day to boost the HDL.

Got to take another test on December 19th to check if it's better, otherwise I've got to take some pills. And I really don't want to do that.
