[QUOTE="sally and james, post: 1829096, member: 93504"] Hi [USER=308316]@GrannyG[/USER] , welcome to the forum. You are one of the people who break all the rules, how dare you be slim, very active and on the way to diabetes. Diabetics are all fat and lazy!!! (This is all said tongue in cheek, so no poison pen letters, please.) I wonder if, during your searches of the internet, you found Dr Malcolm Kendrick. [URL]https://drmalcolmkendrick.org/[/URL] He has a lot to say about cholesterol and has written at least one book on it. Could be worth looking up to put that in context before the doctor puts his/her two penny worth in. You have already worked out that your doctor's take on diabetes is plain wrong, ill informed and out of date, but, what should [U]you [/U]do? It sounds like you are doing all the right things, but we all make mistakes and react differently to things. Do you have a meter to test your blood sugars? Your doctor will come up with lots of reasons why you shouldn't, but you are working blind without one. Can I suggest that you buy your own and find out how foods are affecting you. There may just be something that is tipping you into the over 40's as far as HbA1c is concerned. Test immediately before meals, then two hours after first bite. Keep a food/blood sugar diary, perhaps also note times of serious exercise. The answer may begin to appear. Having said all the above, your levels are really not that terrible, but now is the time to deal with them. Sally [/QUOTE]
