Was 121 then down to 75 in June. They were happy with progress but wanted me to start statins as cholesterol was high. 5.4 and 2.0 trig. I refused and said I intended to remedy through diet. Had my 2nd bloods taken yesterday and already received back the urea and electrolyte serum lipid levels. 5.2 and trig 2.0. Doesn't have the ldl  and hdl levels but last time they came with the H1ac results. I will post those levels when i get them. The other levels all within range and summarised as satisfactory and no further action which i reckon is good as last time i was told to ring them upon result. They mentioned last time they wanted my overall level near 4 as T2 but not sure this is achievable? What is actually a "safe" number and do i still refuse statins if pushed?</p></blockquote><p></p>
