[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1492119, member: 94045"] Hi and welcome, An HbA1c of 42 is only just in the pre-diabetic range. Under 42 is non-diabetic 42 to 47 is pre-diabetic 48 and above is diabetic. So you have every chance in the world of getting back to normal. Try to lose that extra stone you are carrying and you will be part way there. Most people on here find that cutting right down on carbs is the best plan. This will help you lose weight and will also help your blood glucose levels. The low carb programme will definitely help you. Your HDL is excellent :) Your LDL is fine. :) The ratios are good :) Were your triglycerides about 2.6? If so, they are high. They should be under 1.7. However, if you didn't fast for this test, these triglycerides will be higher than normal. It is always wise to fast before a cholesterol test. [/QUOTE]
