Good morning to everyone.
I have just returned from my review with my new practice, and a tad confused.
Is it normal for them not to have done a cholesterol test?
I have always had this done previously and was waiting to find my results.
She just scrolled down the screen in front of her saying my kidneys are fine etc etc, then
casually said that they hadn't done a cholesterol this time!
I'm really puzzled, especially since it's always been higher than 5.
Some good news at least though.
She told me that I am below diabetic levels with a HbA1c number of 37 !!!
This is due ONLY to my low carb and IF during this last two months.
Also my blood pressure is high .. can't remember the numbers but the lower one was 100
She wants me to buy a blood test monitor and send in readings after a week.
Anyone know how I can lower it please?
