[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2165529, member: 451727"] I think you are spot on there Mr Pot. It's only in the last few years that (over here) they started those well men & women clinics that do the hba1c tests. That must have picked up an absolute stack of people who otherwise would never have known they had a glucose impairment/diabetes, or 'high blood pressure' or 'high cholesterol' etc. I know it's generally a good thing but it can also place many in the 'You're unhealthy, here are some pills' category when they might never have gone on to suffer in any way. Not so much for diabetes but blood pressure and especially cholesterol. How many people get into their late 40s without cholesterol that's higher than the magic 4? x [/QUOTE]
