Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="jpen" data-source="post: 1953906" data-attributes="member: 493140"><p>Yes - I thought the trigs number looked weirdly high. And the trig/HDL is worrying too. I wasn't expecting to get blood tests done that day, but had just visited the drs nurse to get the blood test request and we realized that that day was gonna be the only time I could get it done due to closures over the Xmas/NY break. Over here (I'm in NZ) blood tests are not done at the Dr's surgery. So it was a last minute decision to go. I wasn't asked about fasting by the phlebotomist. But I will make sure next time that I'm properly fasted. Having said that, I probably wasn't fasted for the previous test either (can't quite remember at this point). But it's the big difference between the two tests, with the 2nd being AFTER having made significant dietry changes that I find so weird and puzzling. In fact the *two* previous blood tests (ie including the first test done that identified the diabetes I didn't know I had!) showed trigs at 2.6, and now suddenly a rise to 4.0. Its kinda worrying - and puzzling.</p></blockquote><p></p>
