I was diagnosed as a Type 1 in July last year.
I have been doing so well and have brought my Hba1c down from 127 at diagnosis to 44 in November. However, I visited my GP on Monday for my routine check up and foot check, all good but they told me I needed a blood test to check my Cholesterol, well today I had a call from the doctors to say that it is high at 5.6 and they need me to go in and talk to the doctor.
I have tried so hard to watch what I eat and I really haven't changed what I eat, other than I eat less now, no snacks in between so my diet food wise is the same but I have never had high Cholesterol before! What am I doing wrong, just when I thought that I had got on top of this I am now worried that I have done something wrong,.
Is this something that happens when you are a diabetic?
Any help would be great, or any ideas ;-)
Thanks
Jenny
