Hemoglobin A1CHemoglobin A1C measures how much glucose has been sticking toyour red blood cells. It gives an idea of how high blood sugar levelshave been over a 3 month span. Ideal A1C values are less than 5.6%.How often should an A1C be checked? A1C should be checked annually if you are not a known Diabetic.If you are Diabetic, it should be checked every 3 months.How do I lower my A1C? A1C can be lowered with simple lifestyle changes. Eating a balanceddiet of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean meats will help loweryour blood sugar levels. Also limiting the amount of sweets consumedwill keep this value within check.

With HDL (good) cholesterol, higher levels are better!What should my HDL cholesterol be? An HDL cholesterol of 60 mg/dL or higher givessome protection against heart disease. In the average man, HDL cholesterol levels range from 40 to 50 mg/dL. In the average woman, they range from 50 to 60 mg/dL. Low HDL cholesterol (less than 40 mg/dL for men, less than 50mg/dL for women) puts you at higher risk for heart disease.Why is my HDL cholesterol low? Smoking, being overweight and being sedentarycan all result in lower HDL cholesterol. People with high blood triglycerides usually also have lowerHDL cholesterol and a higher risk of heart attack and stroke.10

What can I do to improve my results?

When too much of it circulates in theblood it can clog arteries, increasing your risk of heart attack and stroke.How do I lower my LDL levels? LDL can be lowered with daily physical activity and healthy, balancedeating. Consuming lean meats such as chicken and pork andstaying away from high fat foods will lower this number as well.What are the healthy LDL ranges? It is recommended that LDL levels be less than 130.
