Well, I got my fasting blood draw results back!

All of the lipids are out of bounds (it’s actually suggested on the results page that I may have familial hypercholesterolemia because of how high they are, so I know it’s being taken at least slightly seriously).

My urea nitrogen count was also noticeably low, and not even slightly.

My A1C jumped from a baseline of 5.5 all the way to 6, although I do have a family history of that.

And my white blood cell count was also perceptibly high.

Aside from the familial hypercholesterolemia, we get to find out why all of these are out of range.
