I got the results of my 3 month Hba1c and cholesterol tests today.
I was pleased with my Hb1ac which has gone down from 40 to 38.
My cholesterol results were not quite as good.
total cholesterol 6.4 (was 5.6)
triglyceride 0.89 (was 1.22)
HDL 1.7 (was 1.3)
HDL ratio 3.8 (was 4.3)
LDL 4.3 (was 3.7)
The GP wasn't concerned about the cholesterol levels but I would like to get it down if I can.
The GP I have seen since I was diagnosed with prediabetes is off at the moment so I saw a different GP so he doesn't know my history. His first comment when he gave me the results was "it is 38 so you don't have diabetes" the other GP would have said "it is 38 so has gone down, well done". Only a small detail but makes a difference to positive thinking. He didn't seem to understand when I said I was really pleased with the result. He also said you only have one high Hba1c the others are low - doh that's because I have changed my diet!
