Hello. I was a member a very long time ago.
Anyway a bit about me age 60 type 2 diagnosed Nov 2016.
My readings at diagnosis.
Weight 80kg
BP 124/88
Hb1ac 117
Sept 2017
Weight 78kg
BP 120/70
Hb1ac 43
Col. 5.7 HDL 1.8 LDL 3.5 TG 0.8
Ratio 3.2
Creatinine 64

Weight 81.8kg
BP 132/88
Hb1ac 55
Col. 4.8 HDL 1.3 LDL 3. TG 1.2

Weight 77kg
BP 120/60
Hb1ac 53
Col. 4.9 HDL 1.3 LDL 3 TG 1.3
Ratio 3.8
Creatine 71
I've been on 4 metformin tablets for years.
Every time I go she mentions statins but I always say they are ok aren't they and convo ends but now she tells me 4 is new guideline so I should consider. Is the 4 ratio or total ? I'm struggling to understand all my cholesterol, trig readings. Also creatine - what does this mean.
Thank you
