ARE YOU AT RISK?
Cholesterol (Lipids)
High levels of lipids in your blood can cause heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes. It is very important that you keep your lipids at a healthy level. Checking your lipid levels once a year will help you and your doctor spot any problems. High Density Cholesterol (HDL) is the “good” cholesterol: it removes extra cholesterol from your arteries. Low Density Cholesterol (LDL) is the “bad” cholesterol: it contributes to the buildup of fat deposits in your arteries. One finger stick and a five minute process is all it takes! ***Make an appointment…………You will be required to fast the night before.

As glucose levels rise, more and more glucose attaches to the blood cells. The A1C test result is shown as a percentage. The target range for A1C is 6.5%.
Routine self-monitoring of blood glucose is the most successful approach to self-management of diabetes because it provides an ongoing assessment of a person’s blood glucose level. Since most long-term complications of diabetes are related to A1C levels, this test should be a regular part of assessing your diabetes care. Glucose (GLU) is the measure of the sugar level in your blood.

Bone Density Testing
Osteoporosis is a silent progressive disease characterized by decreased bone density and increased bone fragility. In the US alone, 28 million persons are at risk for developing osteoporosis. There are approximately 1.5 million fractures a year attributed to this disease and women are at a greater risk. Eighteen million women a year between the ages of 50-65 are asymptomatic for osteoporosis. Many of these women are candidates for prevention. Early detection and intervention are crucial.
Have a seat and soak your feet and within 15 minutes a computerized graph illustrating your bone density reading will be ready for your review. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines fracture risk, based on T-scores for bone mineral density (BMD) testing. The T-score is the difference between the patient value and the average value in healthy young adults (divided by standard deviation). The ultrasound properties of the heel measured indicates the risk of osteoporotic fracture. Your reading will assist you in making any informed decision necessary.
