[QUOTE="Annieok, post: 1010763, member: 208836"] I had my first hbA1C since I was diagnosed on 1st September. It's gone from 93 to 59 so I'm doing something right! I have been running quite high the last two weeks and I think that's because of a chest cold that's not going. I've had my cholesterol as well - gone up from 6.2 to 6.8 so not so good. HDL has gone from 0.9 to 1.2 (good) but LDL has stayed the same at 4.8 (very bad). My trigs are 1.7 (don't have the old number). I'm awaiting a c-peptide result and I'm going on a 24 BP monitor on the 6th of Jan. BP is falling slowly. though from 170 over 115 to 150 over 100. I had an ECG too and that was normal. I have a review with my GP and DN on the 11th Jan. They will know the c-peptide results and we will review my treatment. I'm also doing the Xpert course for 6 weeks and am pretty committed to staying as low carb as possible. I may have to cut some fat though to bring down my cholesterol. My DN is lovely, very encouraging and keeps telling me how impressed she is with how hard I've worked. The big question will be when I see the consultant opthalmologist at the end of January and if my moderate retinopathy needs further treatment. I just needed to write all this down for myself somewhere so sorry if this a bit of an information dump! [/QUOTE]
