I went to the local laboratory. At this laboratory, people can order a lab test on their own, even without a doctor’s order. Each test fee is clearly described in their official website, and their fees are affordable.
Beforehand I made an appointment and ordered the tests online. I ordered two tests. One is called “Expanded Health Profile”. It contains checking on Heart (lipid panel) and Liver and Kidney. The other one is hemoglobin A1C.

The great thing about this lab is its quick process. By the night I received the result.
My numbers in the category of Liver/Kidney (CMP – Comprehensive Metabolic Panel) were all within the good range.
My A1C (The hemoglobin A1c) was 6.9%. My last one of this April was 7.3%, so it was improved by 0.4%. It is not a wonderful number but I am happy for its improvement. It is within the green light, which is 6.0% to 6.9%.
As for my numbers in the category of Heart (Lipid Panel – Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL, LDL, VLDL), I also had a bit improved. The numbers of Cholesterol, HDL, and LDL were within the normal range. However, I still need to work on lowering Triglycerides and VLDL. They were still very high. The triglycerides was 313, which was supposed to lower than 149.
In order to work on the triglycerides, I will intake one large spoon of apple cider vinegar before the breakfast every day. I will start this habit from tomorrow morning.
I am planning to take a next lab test at the beginning of January next year. I hope my daily effort of taking apple cider vinegar every day will show some improvement in the number.
