first tests back

Well not as bad as I thought all blood tests came back within normal figures and my cholesterol was 3.5

so got put on simvastatin 40mg and asprin 75mg

The only hight test was blood sugar at 7.5 fasting test.

Feet test no problems as well

what do you guys think of the results?

Pretty good!
You'll get that fasting down soon
Well done!

Sounds good Wiz,I wonder why you are on Simvastatin with a cholesterol level of 3.5 however?

Hi Wiz,

That's because your GP gets paid a bonus for every patient he can put onto simvastatin, regardless of whether the patient needs it or not. And with a cholesterol level as low as 3.5 you have to ask yourself is this prescription for my benefit or my GP's!
