[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2678833, member: 517579"] Great "below normal" result on the HbA1c. Not long at all, was it? Your total calculated figure is much the same as mine (fasted). If I'm tested unfasted it will go up a point or two. Mine has been in the mid to high sixes for thirty years - it used to be called normal, but then overnight became high. I have no doubt whatsoever that statins would lower my cholesterol figures, but I have considerable doubt about whether my cholesterol actually needs to be lowered. If you're looking to make general health improvements, stopping smoking would pay off much better than anything else. And another vote for Malcolm Kendrick. [/QUOTE]
