6.1 this morning maybe stress as certainly up in the air and not very happy. Got a copy of the letter from the lipid clinic yesterday - I had bloods taken on the 25th Nov then a conversation on the phone with the doc. Knew they were not happy with my cholesterol results but I am still putting off statins for another few months. What concerned me was that they said they were not going to do an HbA1c yet they did, plus I have been testing my cholesterol with an expensive cholesterol tester to find that having taken my own bloods around 3/4 hr earlier, the bloods taken at the hospital were so different. This means either my cholesterol meter is very inaccurate so pretty useless or my cholesterol rose in the time between tests, by thedon't know how quickly cholesterol can change but waiting for my bloods to be drawn at the hospital I was in total panic mode. There was about 15% difference with the hospital results being higher, when the range of error should have been no more than 5%.
My Hba1c which they weren't supposed to be doing came out at 39 thought it may have been worse considering I had been wound up for weeks prior to my hospital appointment and had been seeing some unusually high readings during the day.
More angry than anything, annoyed with my body and just wish this cholesterol issue would go away. Its down in writing now results "consistent with type 11a polygenic dyslipidemia." Mind you they still haven't explained exactly what that means except my genes cause my cholesterol to increase in which case why was it within boundaries before low carb I wonder.
So frustrated but I will calm down..... Sometime.......... Hopefully soon ...........Feeling better already after my rant, thank you folks.
