Not the best results but then I didn't expect miracles as I had been eating badly after losing my husband.
I didn't get too much detail but that's nothing new as the nurse is useless. Liver, kidney and iron all normal. Blood pressure still high despite meds and to be retested in 2 months. HbA1c gone up to 45 ( 6.3)....told I am pre diabetic...well wow who knew...they told me I was diabetic several years ago lol. I expected that to have gone up so am not overly concerned as it should come down now I am eating better. Has to be retested in 6 months along with cholesterol. She offered to put me on some programme to 'educate me' ....I declined as they still expect the 'Healthy Plate' to be a huge part of it. Cholesterol up to 6.4....(got told off for that)...risk of heart attack or stroke 8%. I need to improve things and will strive to do so the best I can. Weight 9stone 8 pounds...BP 141/80....things can only get better hopefully
