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
