Keep up the good work and you might be able to lower your bs levels more into the non-diabetic range (below 42) by your next HbA1c test.Re the cholesterol, the HDL increase is good. HDL is the 'good' component of the total cholesterol figure.The LDL is still within NHS guideline target figure for T2s, which is below 2.0.Your trigs are higher than the recommended target figure of  1.7 or below. But as [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER]  and  [USER=181310]@Hiitsme[/USER] say this could be higher because of not fasting before the test.More important than the individual figures are the ratios to each other. You can get these by entering your figures on the online Cholesterol Ratio Calculator:<a href="http://www.hughcalc.org/chol-si.php" target="_blank">http://www.hughcalc.org/chol-si.php</a>I expect your ratios will be good or ideal.</blockquote>
