Yea some people have that body type I’ve noticed throughout my life. My brother is like that, very hard to put on weight and can eat junk all day, my grandpa on my moms side even at 80 he’s like that as well, those types of people at least from what I’ve seen almost can’t get fat even if they try, literally
Got my blood work back

Question (to you and everyone).By the numbers you posted your mass ratio is 2.48 once converted to mg/dl.
So only moderately elevated risk,
About an RR of 1.5 in an otherwise healthy lean guy.
That's just marginally higher than the A1C would indicate.
Regardless, I've no doubt your plan will correct both within a few months.
Kudos on lowering your triglycerides that much! And while still mowing down a half dozen cookies every day?
I'm wondering just wtf you were eating before!
Is there any natural way of fixing you insulin response? To help when combined with a better diet.
I have this weird thought.
I think that the coffee driving out huge surges of insulin and then me going hypo, happening pretty much every day, may have increased my insulin resistance by flooding the receptors over a long duration, like every day pretty much sometimes twice a day for years.
I'm thinking by stopping the coffee and that issue mixed with better eating, so no more sugar stuff bewteen meals, maybe that will help to fix it over time.
I was just wondering if there was a supplement that helps with insulin resistance?
Oh and funny thing when my triglyceride levels were at the top of the limit previous blood test, my A1C was 4.8
You guys don't have a blood bank in the area to just donate too?
No thats the issue, we are too far north amd rural. The closest donor clinic is 3 or more hours away. Thats why this company pisses me off so much. They used to do home visits for me when the didnt have a facility and it was 135$. Now they opened a place and are making me drive there and pay 350$ lol. Its a joke. Just to spite them im going to use my family doctor. He can refer me to get them done two or three times a year for free at the local hospital. I just liked the extra resources for around cycles when I need to get more taken. Its pretty much criminal though to jack prices up like that for all these guys who need it.
Thats how I am, naturally lean so anytime i cut out carbs mainly processed junk food everyone always wonders why. Normal people have no idea about health stuff they just think if your fat your unhealthy so diet and if your not you must be healthy lol.
It could just be the diet causing you to go hypo but its a delayed response from say the day before and you attribute it to your coffee. Or you may not even be hypo at all it could be a reaction to the whitener or even anxiousness from coffee. Have you checked your blood sugar while feeling hypo to verify that it is a glucose issue? I think night time eating is a big warning sign or symptom of insulin resistence. I know when my diets off I wake up to eat and im guessing its because of a fast drop in blood sugar through the night so we wake up to eat.

Dont forget low dose Reta! Does a bunch of other great things too .
Triglycerides alone aren't a very good indicator of anything, it's the ratio that matters.
And you mentioned drinking before the test, which would definitely skew it way higher.
4.8 with high triglycerides wouldn't concern me personally at all.
Sounds like you already know what's going on, and how to fix it.
Coffee causing those big swings twice a day are a likely contribution.
You can't expect a _____ to stay tight if you keep pounding it twice a day with wider _____.
I think high triglycerides alone are a good predictor of heart disease. Possibly even better then LDL alone. I read that somewhere.
I'd agree that LDL alone means nothing, so anything would be better.
But unless stupidly high, triglycerides in isolation don't bother me at all.
Yea i agree with you.

Oh yea, thanks for that.
I don’t know how I forgot Reta. My mom (mind you she was pretty fucking large and pre diabetic) has seen amazing results using Reta in the glucose and the weight loss, I know people here are much more fit but yes I agree it can be applied to us as well, can’t believe I forgot to add it.

Whole reason I bought the glucose meter was because I wanted to see if I was going hypo, and yep that is what happens. Its hit a 3.2 a few times I checked, lots of times a 4.3 but from what I understand coffee makes you more sensitive to hypo sides.
Normally if i eat I won't go hypo, but sometimes I do, sometimes I don't and it can happen like 45 minutes after the coffee.
Stopping coffee has been pretty easy, day 3.
I don't eat in the middle of the night because I am craving something to eat. I was eating just for the sake of eating, there were potato chips in the cupboard or ice cream bars in the freezer, lol. I haven't been eating at night if I wake and go to the basement. Just drink some water and go back to sleep.
They are coming to my house still. Their places to visit were like 3 hours away. Only charged me $239 as well, for 450 ml.
Its about 5-6 hour round trip to donate blood for me.. but I'm positive Sorbate has a place closer.
Closest place if I had to drive to Victory’s office is 6-7 hours.
Thank god they will come to my house.
Do you not have a Canadian Blood services near you?? I can't see you not having one
I'm sending you a link to all the blood donation places near you. There's a few
@Bigbear @Sorbate
Are these places selling the blood as well as charging you for draining it?
Do they allow you to take it home with you? I mean it's your blood right? Bring your own jar or an empty diet coke bottle and freeze that shit for future emergency use. Sorb could keep it in the freezer at work in case he cuts himself.
