The Numbers
What the blood work says
so far.
Not a medical report. Not a promise. Just the markers we watch, logged when we retest, so we know if the boring daily stuff is working.
Disclaimer: Family journal only. Not medical advice. Numbers come from Tata 1mg and GVK Diagnostics. Ask your doctor what targets make sense for you.
Baseline · May 2026
Starting line after we read the reports and stopped pretending "we'll be careful" counts as a plan.
| Marker | Dad (74) | Mom (66) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blood sugar (fasting) | High | High | Why the kitchen charts exist |
| HbA1c | Elevated | Elevated | Track every 3 months |
| Iron | Low | Low | Protein + dal rotation |
| Vitamin D | Low | Low | Sun walks + supplements as prescribed |
| Heart risk markers | Elevated | Elevated | Movement + portions + follow-up labs |
Next follow-up
Retest window: late June / early July 2026. We'll post the delta here when results land. No victory laps for small wins. No panic for small slips. Just data.
