Just had 6 monthly and hb1ac at 5.9 same as last time . have now had 12.8 on diagnosis 18 months ago followed by 7.8, 5.7,5.9 6.1,5.9 and 5.9.They are now worryling about cholesterol which was 5.1 on this test which was a non fasting altho i had nowt to eat apart from a tea and coffee for 12 hours before test. Is 5.1 that high ass i have got it down from 5.7 6 months ago, or is more important to worry about ratios of good bad and trigs which i dont understand?. My gp says that diet will only reduce chlesterol by 10%. is this correct? Should i be looking at statins as these have been mentioned. I am 45 and still unfortunately smoke 5 to 10 cigarettes a day something that i am ashamed of and trying to cease? .
