Just had a call from my surgery..
- "We want you to come in for a blood test"
which one I ask..
- "Cholesterol she says and can you bring in a urine sample too."
Fine I say... Should that be a fasting test I ask..
- "oh no that doesn't matter" says the caller.. "you only need to fast for the diabetes blood test."
What HbA1c says I?..
"oh yes" says the caller...
Head in hands ... and its only because my total cholesterol has gone up from 5.7 to 6.0 between Jan and July..and one of the GP's is a statin advocate.. quite looking forward to speaking to him..
I'm tempted to fast for 3 days beforehand to really send my numbers through the roof just to wind them up.
