Hello
My total cholesterol is 4.71
HDL 1.28
LDL 3
Triglycerides 0.86
Ratio 3.7
I found enough info on the NHS website to make sense of all the readings apart from Triglycerides and Ratio. Can anyone help with this, especially targets? I am keen to continue with lifestyle changes without resorting to statins due to the reporting side effects, so I hope I am heading in the right direction.
My latest HbA1c is 39
When I was diagnosed in November 2016 was in the 80s.
I recently attended a diabetes education course which was extremely helpful but this website has been instrumental in impressing on me the importance of carbohydrate control. So glad that I came across this website!
