So here's the scorecard from Capitol Hill Medical:

#1. Yes, I'm diabetic, and need to start on medication. Fasting glucose was very high, and hemoglobin A1c was even higher.

#2. Triglycerides are very high, HDL very low, LDL particle size and distribution very bad. I'm actually already doing what he recommended I start (as far as exercise and fish oil supplements go), so we'll see what else I should be doing.

#3. Thyroid level is good - which I was concerned about - but testosterone level is 202, with a normal range of 241 to 827. That means supplementing it at least long enough to help with the weight and depression problems. Bah. Pfeah. Feck.

#4. I need to get vaccinated for hepatitis A and B.

#5. Vitamin D level is way low - 21.4, with a normal range of 32 to 100. Prescription-strength vitamin D for eight weeks, then over-the-counter dosages.

And now the weather...
