[QUOTE="Teddysmum, post: 964970, member: 214212"] I am 66 years old and have had type two for over six years; all that time being on 'diet and exercise' with no medication. Prior to my latest annual MOT, in July, either the diabetes nurse or another practice nurse have just told me my readings are fine and so I have no idea of previous values. However, now they provide a card with results and targets. Before July, I had been rather naughty with sweets (not excessive), as I felt a bit down, and had much reduced my exercise due to a deteriorating spine problem .My cholesterol was well within limits but my HbA1c was 49 with a target of 48. Today, I got the results of my 3 month re-test and find that though my cholesterol is even lower, my HbA1c is 52. Am I in danger of being put on medication or is this reserved for higher readings? (I'm asking as the diabetes nurse is on leave, so I can't ask her.) [/QUOTE]
