Are you hitting the 3 main diabetes targets?

I said 2, I find it so hard to get the HBA1C in the right zone

 

2 for me - but I don't want my cholesterol to be below 4, thank you! My lipid profile meets all the present requirements, and my Total:HDL ratio is better than good - so why should my total be below 4? I'm happy with below 5 - and so is my GP.

Viv 8)

 

my 1 was a bit optimistic but i havent had bp for a while so lets hope huh, lol

 

I am with viv on cholesterol mine is 5.1 and I am ok with that ,GP says ok

2 for me too

BP reading just taken at home 118/75 with a pulse of 82 which means I'm alive I guess, seems OK for me

My cholesterol is letting me down here as the last count was 4.7 although it has been down to 3.9. My last blood test shows my HDL at 1.8 and the cholest/HDL ratio at 2.6 whatever that means!? Not bothered, its close enough for jazz.

Anyway the HbA1c is my only goal now, so I'm not going to loose any sleep on not getting 3 stars.

Although had I answered this last year I would have sneaked the full 3 stars

Not that I am in any way competitive or anything

 

My blood pressure and cholesterol are just outside the targets, but my doctor is happy with them

2 for me. HbA1c is up the creek and rising. My Blood Pressure and Cholesterol are fine, but helped by pills.

 

My HbA1C, and blood pressure are good and have been long term. However, my Cholesterol is slightly high. I take eztimibe to lower it and it does help but it's not as effective as statins. I react badly to statins so my choice is to either live with slightly high cholesterol or be disabled with muscle and joint pain.

 

All three...thanks to Statins!!

 

2 out of 3. No idea what my cholesterol is but will get it checked by doc.

As a long term type 1 I have no intention of lowering my hba1c to 6.5% unless I was low carbing and even then I would only be ok if I also had cgm.

 

Same as iHs...Couldnt answer though... Gp hba1.c said 7.2... Hosp hba1c 6.5...both are either right or wrong!!

BP again depends whether at gp or hosp.. At gp will be 110/80 ish ... Hospital 145/90 ish....

I fail on one or other etc depending where I go!!! And wheremy blood takenfrom.. Arm or finger.. Left armor right arm.

I believe my gp results personally as I'mmore relaxed there...

 

2for me - cholesterol is above 4 but not at a level where they would look at prescribing anything ( wouldn't take statins anyway)

 

I'm not hitting the bp target, hopefully quitting the ciggies will help with that one though (day 4 of no real ciggies)!

HBA1c - find out Monday.

Cholesterol - I have no idea!

looks like I meet none of them, blood pressure is 124 / 95, HbA1c 7.6 and cholesterol 4.3, all following docs guidelines.

 

I think am allowing it to rule my life just really sad at the moment :roll:
