[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 2015453, member: 323454"] Hi [USER=472718]@briped[/USER], Congrats on fabulous HbA1c. Wonderful achievement. Also great GP. Given that this wasn't a fasting test, it would be difficult to do some of the calculations involving cholesterol -- not fasting will especially raise your trigs. HDL looks great though and personally, I never worry too much about LDL. Based on what I have read, the correlation with heart disease is not very strong. As to blood pressure, no wonder your blood pressure was raised. I have (hopefully) convinced my GP not to take my blood pressure in his office anymore because during appointments it is always high. I have a monitor at home and my average bp is 107/68 and even after half an hour of rigorous exercise, it is only around 120/80. Seems I have a really bad case of white coat syndrome. Keeping my fingers crossed that the dermatologist can help with the thinning of your hair. [/QUOTE]
