[QUOTE="fergus, post: 23207, member: 6150"] Hi gefmayhem, When you get your results you should make a note of your HbA1c level. This will give you an idea of your average blood sugar levels over the preceding 3 months or so. Since you are on cholesterol lowering medication too, you should also make a note of you HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, chol:HbA1c ratio and triglycerides. This will give you a good picture of your coronary risk. By the way, if you smile and ask politely, they will photocopy the result sheet and let you keep it. Good luck and keep us posted. All the best, fergus [/QUOTE]
