This years blood test results have appear on the MyDiabetes site with a results of Hba1c - 46 (6.4%), pretty consistent.
Creatinine 116 (in range). Cholesterol 6.8 (LDl 4.6, HDL 0.8, trig 5) not too good, BP good, foot test passed, retinopathy clear.
All I've got to do now is file the hard heels on my feet and put on the Flexitol, (I think it's move to my hands as well, they are in a bit of a mess with hard patches and peeling bits, sounds like a Zombie movie).
I was about to comment on the HBA1c/Cholesterol thread but it seems to have got overheated and is closed. However, I have had a heart attack and survived 😛 and tried, all the statins and suffered the muscle pains and given up (with the nodding consent of my GP). My experience is that the statins only caused a problem when I got to the maximum dose of rosuvastatin, something that wasn't taken into account in that study. I personally don't believe that cholesterol reduction to the maximum level possible is natural! and is being driven by statistics and QOF payments.
(BTW can anyone explain what mechanism creates a high level of cholesterol if it is not caused by diet, there must be some kind of organ failure or defect musn't there?)
I will also not be stopping driving which is statistically more likely to land me in hospital.
