LATEST BLOOD LEVELS GOOD OR BAD
@Mikeyy your results tell me about presence of metabolic syndrome: high blood sugar (you're type 2 diabetic?), low HDL (good cholesterol), high triglycerides, I assume your BP is high too? Elevated GGT indicates cardiovascular disease. Elevated vit.D3 (toxic above 100) tells me you take high doses of vit. D supplements. Your thyroid is overactive due to diabetes and obesity. Your RNY will take care of all these issues.
