[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2265200, member: 401801"] I don't think there's anyone alive with a HbA1c of 20, or they might be hypo-ing all the time? And 41 is in the normal range, so.... That's absolutely useless. Maybe they meant that's the normal range and you're higher than that? Ah well. My GP knows I'm nuts, (Clinically depressed introverted borderliner with PTSD, to be a bit more specific) but she also knows I can take care of myself, medically speaking. So she'll give me any and all data I ask for. Heck, I even have a bunch of my x-rays and such. No matter, because you can take charge of this yourself by getting a meter. (One with cheap strips, because that's where the wallet will hurt if you go for the expensive ones). That'll tell you how you're responding to foods, so it really is an invaluable tool. I know it could trigger certain behaviours though so you might want to mull it over, but for me... It showed me I was making progress. And that's both encouraging and empowering. Your cholesterol is another mention of what the range of total cholesterol should be, rather than a breakdown of the components, so... Beats me what that's supposed to mean. But without the "high" behind it... I'd question the need for them. If you feel up to it, of course. If there are no replies to a query, ask again. Sometimes a post'll slip through the cracks. But you'll never have to face any of this alone, if you don't want to. [/QUOTE]
