Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cahar" data-source="post: 1869500" data-attributes="member: 489318">No photo LOLMy name is CaharI am a 62 year old female diagnosed type 2 in May 2018.I am retired and live in Scotland with hubby three dogs and a cat.We enjoy walking and talking not necessarily at the same time. I have been reading threads on here for the past few months and have found it really useful. I'm not sure if this is the right thread to ask a question but am going to anyway. When diagnosed in May my HBA1C was 88. Cholestrol was 5.8 Today I got the results from bloods taken on Monday. In May the doc wanted me to take metaformin  but I refused because I wanted to try and knock it back with diet. I have been pretty strict with myself and today my HBA1C  was 41 BUT my cholestrol had gone up to 7 prompting a request for me to make an appointment with the nurse. I don't understand why the raised cholestrol has happened? Anyone else experienced this also blood pressure which was good in May is now raised.</blockquote>
