Guys,
As I mentioned on the other thread had some tests today
I was scheduled for my tests next month (which was three months from my DX) but I decided to get the tests done today out of curiousity. There were lots of good news for me but also one peice of bad news, which I have a feeling, may be serious
The Good is


1. HbA1c has dropped from 12.7 August 15th to 6.8 today (October 17)
2. Total Cholestrol dropped from 243 to 195
3. LDL dropped from 186 to 123
4. HDL increased from 29 to 34
5. Triglicirides dropped from 232 to 197
6. Fasting today at the lab was 95 (against the 248 at Dx)
Now as mentioned these numbers were at 2 months. I am hoping that the three month mark will get me in the 5% club in HbA1c and lower my Cholestrol further. The LC/HF diet is working
Now here is the bad news which has spoilt my party


1. Protein detected in Urine. It says Protein Detected (+). There was no protein 2 months back.
Does this mean my kidneys are being effected ?
I have been eating a lot of Chicken, chick peas and legumes lately (which are high in protein). In addition I've been having chicken sausages and eggs everyday. Maybe I've gone overboard with the protein.
Infact I had a subway salad last night which had both chicken (high in protein) as well as Tuna (again decent protein content).
I just hope my kidneys are not going bad
Tony
