Hi All,
I have been thinking i'm managing my Type 1 really well, my HBA1C since diagnosis has been decent and I have been exercising a lot etc. I have a clinic next week where I will sit down with my specialist and review some blood results taken last week. The doctor rang me today, asking if I was definitely fasting during the test, which I was.
The result for my cholesterol was 13, way way above what it should be. I don't overeat particularly and have been restricting myself quite a bit. I feel incredibly worried that this means I have heart problems? That no matter what I am doing, it's not working etc. I don't know how I am going to go about bringing it down without medication or restricting myself even more.
Very worried. Has anyone gone that high before?
