Hi, I'm hoping that someone can help decipher my husband's cholesterol results. We are over the moon with his latest HBA1c result of 41 just over 5 months after diagnosis and a score of 122! We just need to prepare for *that* conversation tomorrow at his diabetes review. Can anyone help make sense of the numbers for us? Serum cholesterol up from 5.2 in June, up to 5.4 in July and now to 5.8. He has also lost a whopping 20kg since diagnosis, so could this be at play here ? And this wasn't a fasting cholesterol test......should it have been? @bulkbiker can you help?
