[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2128369, member: 365308"] 1) Congratulations on achieving a normal blood sugar results below 39! 2) Yes, in my experience a lipid panel is standard when they draw blood because diabetics are known to be at higher risk of heart disease and they believe having a high LDL cholesterol is an indicator of this risk. 3) I would take it up to the Practice Manager and ask for a print out of your results. Or book a GP appointment and ask to see and discuss them with the doctor. But in my opinion your work in reversing your T2 is a major contributor to lowering your heart and other disease risk whereas ldl cholesterol is probably less important. If you do find your numbers out you can check them out on an online risk calculator to see what they mean. [/QUOTE]
