Hi Sue,

Here's the my original post where I talked about my trigycerides. click here I think you can tell I was terrified about it.

Yes the reason why they have us fast before these tests is so that any food that throws off the test has a chance to leave the bloodstream. The problem is they don't have us fast long enough to get rid of dairy's negative effects on the test. I think they had me fast for 12-18 hours (not many doctors have asked me to fast longer than that).

I'm not sure who told me this... it could have been a nurse or it could have been someone here, but I have been getting much lower scores on the test since then. I even got to discontinue Tricor (which I still feel was effective too, but I believe my first cholesterol reading was exaggerated).

Take Care,
James.
