Many thanks. That is exactly what I am doing! The carbs I am consuming are all wholemeal/high fibre; am also increasing the water intake. Fingers crossed.

Another problem now I had an ultra sound scan on my gall gladder on Friday,( following an agonising bout of pain), which showed an inflamed, non~functioning gall bladder full of stones. I'm now waiting for a MRI scan and appointment with a consultant. In the meantime, research suggests a low...

Many thanks for that. Will enquire.

Another cholesterol related question: Where in the SW can I get an LDL Particle Test? The 'closest' I can find is London and I really don't want to go there just now for obvious reasons. I'm trying all the private hospitals that I know of in my area but am being greeted with "Oh, never heard of...

Hi - 12 days post-donation for me and levels, like yours, coming down slowly (I keep forgetting to test . . .) but I've had six and high fives, like you! I've got a cough at the moment so levels will be higher now. Have booked for my next donation in November - good idea to have the next HBA1C...

That's very reassuring - thank you for explaining! I will certainly watch the videos. Thanks again.

I now have a print-out of my latest results: HBA1C 41 Trigs 1.4 Cholesterol 8.1 HDL 2.4 LDL 5.1 Any comments would be appreciated. Thank you
