[QUOTE="faceandedge, post: 1958848, member: 486841"] So, just to re-cap I had some blood tests 6 months ago primary for my Cholesterol, as generally they are on the high side. The results were the following : Serum cholesterol 6.3 mol/L HDL 3.0 mol/L LDL 3.0 mol/L Triglyceride 0.6 mol/L More alarming however I was diagnosed pre- diabetic with an HbA1c 42 mmol/mol. As I mentioned in my earlier post, I was rather shocked as I had a very healthy diet, didn't drink/smoke, keen cyclist/fitness. So, after tweaking my diet, and reducing my carbs six months on my blood test results are marginally better the results are the following: Serum cholesterol 5.7 mol/L HDL 3.0 mol/L LDL 2.4 mol/L Triglyceride 0.6 mol/L HbA1c 40 mmol/mol Obviously I'm delighted they have gone in the right direction, I'm out of the pre-diabetic range, however a 2 point drop on HbA1c is pretty marginal considering a strict 6 month regime. Am I expecting too much?! My apologies for the rather long post [/QUOTE]
