Right just back from dr's. My hba1c was 6.8 same as cholesterol. So he said I am not diabetic but just a lady with high blood sugar. Get thee on a low fat low carb diet. So there we go scare over for this year, lol.
Just read your post. I hope you aren't saying your total Chol level is 6.8 ?? Mine is down to 3.2. I certainly wouldn't be happy with that sort of reading.
The amount of cholesterol in your blood is measured in units called millimoles per litre of blood, usually shortened to 'mmol/litre', 'mmol/L' or 'mM'. Current UK guidelines state that it's desirable to have a total cholesterol level under 5mmol/L, and an LDL level under 3mmol/L. However, you should aim to have a total cholesterol level under 4mmol/L and an LDL level under 2mmol/L if you're at high risk of heart disease.
