Well I had no food but a cup of instant coffe with milk and 2 sweetners so i am wondering if this would have effected the Trigs result??

I just tend to go, I don’t wait to be asked. Think it’s as I don’t take medication so I like to lee a very close eye on my levels, I’ll keep going 3 monthly until someone tells me I can? Hopefully they won’t?

What is eGFR? Mine has always been 90? Your cholesterol is good! A **** sight better than mine. Total 4.6, Trigs 2,73, HDL 1.15. Are you on any medication?

Went from 47 to 49. Not horrendous but not good I spose.

Does that tell you more?

Oh 2 questions.. should I take statins based on that result? Also would the coffee had effected my Trigs?

I was hoping you’d reply [emoji1362] A1c was 49, fluctuates from 47-49. I’ll see if I can see the lipid results, the whole thing baffles me!

I don’t understand these results but gather they aren’t great!! Can someone calculate or explain them please. Had Trigs done today and even though I fasted I did have a cup of coffee with 2 x sweeteners half hour before the test. Would that have made a difference? Serum cholesterol/HDL ratio...

Yes they are! Back to pre diabetic levels and will know tonight if I have either gone up or back down to non diabetic levels

No I wasn’t told to but I always fast before a test. Thanks Rachox

Thanks Glenn and this is why I want a full Cholesterol test as I am constantly being badgered to take Statins, which I point blank refuse to!

Hiya, I had that 3 months ago. All come back fine thank goodness.

Controlled. Never reversed! I got back to under 42 last year, thought I was cured, went back to a high carb diet and the next test I was back to square 1.

I am having my 3 monthly A1C test tomorrow 9am. I always get my Cholesterol checked too but they never check my Lipids (I think it’s that) or is it Trigs? What tests do I need to get so I am getting the full picture of my Cholesterol levels? #confused

My Nan passed in 1999 from heart failure after being diagnosed in 1997. We only found out she had it after she developed gangrene in 2 of her toes and had to have them Removed but thinking back to the late 80’s/early 90’s, she had the most obvious symptoms for years! Always weeing, always...

I just want to thank you all for you replies, your info and your knowledge! It feels like it’s finally “clicked” for me! Am back on track and medication is in the bin, don’t think I’ll be needing that. 1 tablet was enough for me.

Not sure about that but I take Cinnamon tablets before meals and I swear it helps me. Bitter melon too. Get them online from health monthly

This site is great! Thank you.

Thank you. I was 47 last test and like to stay under 48 and get back to under 42. Giving up smoking made it harder for me for a while but so glad I did. Need to educate myself more about hidden carbs.. who knew there were carbs in carrots [emoji24]
