[QUOTE="Wishman, post: 2014989, member: 490396"] Thanks so much to everyone for your positive words, and of course you are right, I should focus on the bigger picture. I am very pleased with my weight loss. I think that after reducing my HbA1c by 8 in the 1st 3 months I has just geared myself up to a similar decline in the next 4 hence my disappointment at just going down by 1! But yes, SO happy to be in the non-diabetic range, I was in actual tears when I got my 41 result :) My cholesterol isn't great I don't think, when it was at 4.0, my HDL was 1.0 and LDL was 2.7. Didn't get the breakdown for the latest result. I would very much prefer to be off statins, especially as they may raise blood sugar levels but looks like I might need to stay on them. Will discuss with my nurseon Wednesday. I didn't know cholesterol could increase as you lose weight so that's interesting. Thanks so much again for your support, it's been really helpful and cheering. [/QUOTE]
