[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 2203545, member: 219467"] I think that's quite old guidance ( but when did most nurses ever keep up to date!). So far as I know 5 is now thought to be "ok"... As your HbA1c's are pre-diabetic that should also act in your favour to as the risk of CVD (even in NHS terms) should be reduced due by that. Studies have shown that higher total cholesterol levels in older women are overall protective (they live longer) so I certainly wouldn't try to lower levels artificially if I were in that cohort.
