My GP will go berserk! I really don't know how to think about them. My A1c was 37, down from 41 in 2017, 40 in 2016, and equal to the 37 I scored in 2015 and 2014. Not the 31 I'd like to see, but not an emergency either.Please has anyone else had cholesterol results like this, and what did you do about them? I am seeing my GP on Thursday and I am sure she will again be pushing statins.</blockquote>
