I had some blood work the other day. My chloresterol was high. I am
31, male and weight 216 lbs. I cant loose weight despite diet and
exercise. My father has had diabetes and heart problems at 50. My
uncle had bypass surgery at 42 and also has diabetes as does everyne
on my fathers side. All tests were after fasting overnight.

glucose 103

C-Peptide 2.8 (1.1 - 5.0)

total testosterone 310 (260-1000)
free testosterone 11.7 (9.5-29.7)
free testosteron % .4 (.2-.7 %)
TSH 3.35 (.35-5.5)
T3 up 29.15 (24.4-39.1)
T4 8.5 (8.5-10.5)

Insulin 10.0 (5.0-35.0)

Triglyercides 231 (150)

Chloresterol 207 (200)

There wer others but I will not bore you.

Also I had this test taken at 6:45 a.m. in the morning. Willt his make
a difference especially in the testoserone as I hear it is the highest
in the morning. WOuld that mean I may be low if taken in the
afternoon?

If you exercise and diet you WILL lose weight. period.

You can start now - or wait and see if you survive your
1st heart attack (like I did) then you will try and take
control of your life.

You have too many risk factors now ..... see a doctor
(cardiologist) and have a stress test ASAP!

My uncle died when he took a stress test. It caused a fatal heart attack.
I wouldn't recommend it.

A friend of mine had a stress test not long ago. He was worried about
it, as is seriously overweight and has some heart issues (intermittent
tachycardia). It turned out that they did it differently than he
expected. Rather than having him actually exercise, they had him lie
on a table and just injected him with something that increased his
heart rate (I suppose something like epinephrine, but I don't know).
They were monitoring him and were ready to take action immediately if
anything went wrong. This sounds like a much more cautious approach
for someone who may have a greater-than-average risk of heart attack.

Yes, that sounds much better. Too bad my uncle didn't have this option.
