[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2026159, member: 94045"] It is important for us all to know what all our blood test results say. Not just blood glucose, but also cholesterol, the full cholesterol breakdown (HDL/LDL and triglycerides), plus liver and kidney functions. You are entitled to print outs of your blood test results (in the UK) and can ask at reception for a copy. If in England, most surgeries now do as asked 3 years ago and put test results on line. You have to register separately for this service. You could be taking statins without actually needing them. Doctors hand them out like sweeties. So it is best you know what your cholesterol and breakdown is and you can then decide for yourself. Never rely on health professionals that say "too high" or "normal" or similar. That is only their opinion, and for all you know your levels could be on the brink of being abnormal. You need to know. [/QUOTE]
