Hi all

Had my results in today. First in 12 Months and........ Yipppeeeee 6.0%. BP 136 over 76. Cholestrol 3.1. Trig 2.0 HDL 0.9. :D :D All ok. She is going to see me in 3 months. I was a bit worried as I have changed Drs, but these seem to want to keep a closer look at things although evrything is ok. I was told there are two Drs and 3 nurses that specialise in Diabetes so I am pritty lucky. :D

Good results, well done. I'm not too sure about the blood pressure though, I think they like it to be a bit lower in diabetics. I seem to recall it should be 130/80 or less. I am sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. The HDL is a bit low as well, should be more than 0.9.

Yes very well done on the hba1c.
It's funny about the cholesterol and hdl isn't it. they maybe say "okay" because the ratio comes in at around 3 which they like. So your low hdl is saved by your cholesterol being also low... mine came in earlier this week at 6.4/2.1 so my cholesterol is no way as good as yours but my hdl is higher - and the end result looks the same. Odd! I still need to get my chol down and you still need (I think!) to get your hdl up. All strength to our eating habits, then!

Hi

Normal blood pressue range is 60 to 80 which is the blood going into your heart and the blood being pumped out of your heart is 110 to 130.

So a normal blood pressure reading is anything between them 120/60 or 130/80 the highest it should be. 120/80 is the norm A blood presure of 140/90 is viewed as borderline high blood pressure.

Doctors most worry about the blood going in the heart the 60 to 80 reading. The outgoing they are not so worried about but views are changing on this.

The other results have been explained on this forum but my brain just couldn't understand them and I'm just happy if they are down.

Being anxious over our results can also raise our BP just a little but your results for BP look good.

Sue :)
