Hi. My gp said my cholesterol was 6.6 but never commented on treatment. Is this because with better blood sugar it can come down? (worried I'll l have a h attack.)

Thank you so much. Got a 4.9 before diner last night. Levels seem to be between 6-8 before meals generally.

I started off with an 11.7 ... numbers now between 7-8. Last night got a 4.9 before dinner. Still not taking Glic.

4.9 last night before dinner.

Thanks for messaging me - still a complete mess. I got a 4.9 yesterday before dinner. Tonight it was 7.5.

Thank you for the reply-sorry for my late reply. Still not taking the pills. Had a reading of 4.9 last night before dinner then tonight it was 7.5 before dinner.

Hi Thank you for replying. My BMI has been as high as 28.5 this last year but I followed SW and got it down to 26 in Feb by eating lots of carbs and fruit on the SW diet. Bad move. I think I am having a day where I feel hopeless. Yes, BMI is 25 but my GP scoffed at the idea of me losing weight...

Thanks for the reply. I hope so. Just feel so tired.

Yes, certainly been left in limbo!!! Very upset this morning. Hardly slept. Don't know if I'm doing wrong by not taking them.

Hi. Thanks for replying. I've not started the Gliclazide and am reluctant to until I've changed my diet and lost 7 pounds. Then, I'd like to see what it's like. I was told to test presumably as they thought I'd take tablets but using the monitor anyway!!!

Hi everyone, Not sure where to start but here goes. Feeling a complete nervous wreck. Diagnosed 3rd June. Told levels were 85. Cholesterol 6.8. Im 48, BMI 25. After a brief phone chat with nurse, (most of which I was crying!) I have been given Gliclazide to take. Nothing else. 1 x 80mg with...
