    Statins

    My last annual review at the doctors was almost a year ago and I was told everything was normal - whatever normal is. Unfortunately I didn't pursue the "normal" as I was pleased at the time of the results. I did ask to see the doctor about my statins and the insomnia. I did spend quite a while...

    Chat with my Vet

    I have done the rounds looking for a good vet for my 2 dogs. Eventually after a short wait I managed to get them registered with an independent Vet. After a while we became friendly and I became aware that as an independent vet he would prescribe what he thought was necessary even though at...

    Low carb and Statins

    Just over a year ago I went on to the LCHF diet and lost about 2.5 stone. At a recent medical review I was told my sugar and BP were fine but because of my age I should go on Statins.

    Blood glucose and HbA1c relationship ?

    This is an area that I don't understand. I think that an hba1c is an average over 3 months and I believe readings should be below 6.5 (?), and the fasting glucose test needs to be below 7.0. I know the 2 test are different but what is the relationship if any between the 2. I am newly diagnosed...

    Another one confused

    I had been told I was glucose impaired for a couple of years or so now as it was picked up on my annual checks for thyroxin and allopurinol. I didn't really know what it meant and it was never really explained. Last week I was told my reading was 6.8 for a fasting test and this is type 2...
