After an adult lifetime of being 90-100 over 60-70, a routine work screening last Feb. brought me in at 145 over 110. The same or higher numbers repeated over the next few weeks, even though lipids and blood sugars were all their usual low selves and I was five lbs lighter and in better shape than I had been for years. Freaked me out. Why, all of the sudden, with only positive lifestyle changes to factor in?
A month and a half later, with no change other than no longer adding salt to cooked food, I was back down to 100-110 over 65-75, which has stayed my new normal. Thank goodness. My plan b, based on literature and doctor input, was to throw out the alcohol.
