Thanks for the snippets Janet. These are very helpful reinforcements.

I am to see my doctor again in July, and I"m sure that he will want to do blood work again at that point. I won't expect anything terribly dramatic, because I will still be in the throes of active weight loss then, but after 6 months on low carb, fat-eating, and exercise, my TRIG/HDL ratio should be markedly better.
