Saw my Doc again for more high blood pressure medicine. I have been vegan for seven months now. Since my last blood test six months ago, my LDL cholesterol stayed about the same, 103 (had been 134 prior to going vegan). My kidney eGFR went up again to 69 from 67 (had been 51 before going vegan). So all around good news. My blood pressure is responding to medication, now averaging 128 over 76 (was in the 150 over 84 range).
