Albumin/Globulin Ratio: 2.0 (0.8-2.0)
Total Bilirubin: 0.3 (Range 0.3-1.2)
AST (SGOT): 14 (Range 13-40)
ALT (SGPT): 15 (Range 7-52)
Alkaline Phosphatase: 46 (Range 38-101)
He said everything looks good and, that since all of my thyroid levels are in range, he's okay with letting my TSH be low. The only change he made was to cut out the red yeast rice he had prescribed as a natural statin, because it was the only thing that was keeping my blood sugars elevated (my A1C increased from 6.4 in June to 6.7, and he added the red yeast rice in June to see if it would help with my high cholesterol levels). He said I am sensitive to statins, as they raise my BGs, and that I don't need them. He expects my A1C to drop come January, and wants to know what the result is when I get it done again at my endo's office.
