I guess I'm just an ostrich. I eat my keto diet, my weight remains stable, I walk every day (now that it is not hot and humid) and easily get 4-6 miles in, my bg's are "normal", half a dozen "diseases" or more are gone, and I take no prescription drugs. In December I turn 70. It's been a decade since I had my cholesterol checked. I have no idea what my numbers are. I am curious but since I know I won't change the way I am eating I don't see the point in having the test. The fact that cholesterol numbers get prioritized over so many other possible measurements just doesn't make sense to me. I sure they mean something but I've just opted out of the game. I figure I"m doing really well all things considered. Perhaps I'm just a luddite as well as an ostrich.
