@billchitwood Were these test results also forwarded to his doctor? That would be a good first step to understanding where your husband's condition is right now, as the dr will look at trends in the test results, not relying strictly on one set. Are you able to make sure he/she gets them?

Perhaps your husband will be more willing to have a doctor visit if their office calls to discuss the results!

Since he is still showing in Stage 3 a he is a happy camper. He is reluctant to send them to his doctor as he thinks he doctor could be upset that Bill had his own test done. Since the doctor is (or at least was) following his cholesterol - last test done last November, I'm guessing they might be calling him in for a follow-up. Or at least his KY doctor was always having staff call him in to follow up on things. At which point I wouldn't have a problem getting him in. Maybe!

Still having the low diastolic readings almost daily. Pulse low as well - in 50s.

Thanks for help. Julie
