Not strictly about Diabetes so forgive me......
My wife, who is 55 5ft 2 tall and barely 6st 10 (94 lbs) and with a blood pressure reading that is so low it’s barely measurable, had a Blood Test recently and was asked to make an appointment “as a matter of urgency”
Anyway her total Cholesterol came back as 6.8
so of course going on Statins is the only way to head off impending doom.
Her refusal was met with disbelief and a threat that she would have to go through all this “stress” every year until she did as she was told !!!
Her breakdown is interesting and probably quite unusual, and certainly not understood or even looked at by the Doctor.
Total Cholesterol 6.8
Serum non HDL Cholesterol 3.1
Serum triglycerides 1.0
Serum LDL Cholesterol 2.65
Serum HDL Cholesterol 3.70
Serum Cholesterol/HDL 1.8
Doctors are idiots !!!
