[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 2154604, member: 400972"] Hi CliveUK, I’m sorry that this unexpected diagnosis has bought you here. However here is an excellent place to be for all people with some form of diabetes. Here’s a link to our useful info post: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/basic-information-for-newly-diagnosed-diabetics.17088/[/URL] Your HbA1c is just into the prediabetic range so with a few adjustments to your diet you can get that back into the non diabetic range. Aside from cutting out obvious sugar, you'll need to look at your carbohydrate intake, all carbs white or brown turn to sugar once eaten. It’s good you’ve bought a glucose meter as this will show you what foods you can and can’t tolerate. Just another point to note is, please do your homework on statins, drugs used to reduce cholesterol. There is a lot of disagreement about whether higher cholesterol levels are detrimental to our health or not. Also statins can raise blood sugar levels, which isn’t good for diabetics! [/QUOTE]
