Although its a long day in A&E, at least when they do all the tests, you have some reassurance that there is noting more serious wrong. I hope you start to pickup soon.

Yeah hopefully the antibiotics will help

Hi everyone the GP didn’t want to come and see me as he said he would probably send me to A&E anyway so my mum and I went to A&E thankfully everything is ok and the drs said it’s probably a viral infection so I just need to take my antibiotics drink a lot and persevere with it

Get well soon .

@Ziggy2017 What a relief please take care of yourself.

Hi all

A very time poor Diabetic nurse spent 2 of our 4 mins yearly review time trying to "sell" me statins.

She wasn't able to give me a print out of my numbers so no meaningful discussion could take place. After I was able to obtain a copy from reception

Shame I couldnt have a proper discussion with anyone from the NHS but any thoughts would be welcome.

Cholestrol is my blind spot - sorry
Can I borrow your serum ALT levels though, I’ve worked myself down from 216 to 56 but would love a score of 18. Sadly there are other things I love, that I probably should love a bit less.

Ziggy - I’m sure you don’t feel it right now, but you’re stronger than all of us. We all just want you to feel better- hang in there kid, it will pass.

@Debandez - how many people are attending the event (roughly).
I think my real world T2 blog should reference it that weekend and what it is trying to achieve.
My surge into “remission” is getting some attention so I want to catch the momentum while I can.

Don’t worry I’m gonna rest until I feel better

Hi sorry that they did the statins sell I get it but my cholesterol is much higher than yours. Main issue with results is no trigs recorded so not a full lipid panel so not quite enough info. Only thing I notice about your cholesterol is that you could work on getting HDL a bit higher rather than taking statins! I’d aim to up my healthy fats known to up HDL olive oil, nuts, oily fish etc I also believe in green tea and glass of red read the cholesterol chapter of the pioppi diet by Dr. Malhotra or something on line eg
https://www.dietdoctor.com/worry-high-cholesterol
You probably had but just wanted to reassure you too and suggest you read around things there’s lots about cholesterol on the forum type in search and have a good read but I’d want a full lipid fasting panel before I considered taking statins! Talking of which I’m still awaiting my own results
