latest blood results

[Rob6868]

I asked for a HbA1c test along with others. Just got them back! but I can't make head to toe of them this time😂Different lay out.So I thought I would ask you clever people if there are any nasties on there?😭😭😭please be gentle with me I presume the glucose level is HbA1c?

[NorthantsSteve]

Hi Rob. These look good to me. Your HbA1c is the one fourth from the bottom. At 37 that’s perfectly acceptable. 40 is pre-diabetic. You’d need to talk to a medical specialist for the finer detail but your HDL and LDL are roughly speaking the same as mine and I’m pretty happy with where they are.

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to NorthantsSteve]

Agree with Steve. Your blood glucose is also very good and in fact makes me wonder if it was a fasting test?

[Rob6868 in reply to MichaelJH]

Nope Just a bloody good look at my diet Michael lol..I've changed it considerably since last year and was hoping it would be better.

Mind you Mr cummings says that we shouldn't take too much notice of the HbA1c test as often people are too far down the line by the time they take that test and we should be asking for the HOMA test?as it's more accurate. I didn't fast before the bloody test and it was in the morning about 9.30 after a small breakfast. I just don't need Diabetes on top of heart disease and microvascular angina Michael .And that's pretty much why I wanted the test.

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Rob6868]

Your HbA1c test is good so nothing to worry about. Just stick to a healthy diet and lifestyle.

[Rob6868 in reply to MichaelJH]

Thank you Michael

I'm trying

But the odd bit of cake sneaks in now and then...oops!!!

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Rob6868]

With the figures you have given the odd slice of say lemon drizzle (one without icing) should be fine. Black Forest Gateaux less so for both carbs and fats! Or you could roll your own as they say!

[Rob6868 in reply to MichaelJH]

You've nailed it Michael and you have psychic powers 😁Because lemon drizzle is my favourite and has been since I was a kid.And your right on it with the icing because I hate it and always scrap it off😁😂

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Rob6868]

They don't call me "Mystic Mike" for nothing! 🔮

[Hidden in reply to Rob6868]

I have not studied your post in detail but I gather you are worried about blood sugar levels, why are you even thinking about eating cake???? I used to like Pork chops and steak and cream scones but since nearly dying I have not been near them with a barge pole. Just sack it off and stick to healthy options.

[NorthantsSteve in reply to NorthantsSteve]

Just to say ore diabetic starts at 42 and not 40. Apologies for the diff info!

[Adaboo]

Good results! Your HbA1c is the same as mine 😁

[Rob6868 in reply to Adaboo]

lol we must be doing something right then Adaboo😁😂😃

[Adaboo in reply to Rob6868]

I really hope so 🤞🤞😅

[Rob6868 in reply to Adaboo]

Do you think it's down to following what Mr cummings advocates? Or that we are just cleverer lol

I really don't want to start another Ivor Cummings debate off again 😀😂😃

[Adaboo in reply to Rob6868]

Oh lord nor do I, it’s definitely down to diet because I’d tried everything else, so basically I believe so 😁

[Rob6868 in reply to Adaboo]

LCHF?

[Adaboo in reply to Rob6868]

For me? Yes

[Adaboo in reply to Rob6868]

There is a LCHF forum on healthunlocked too.

[Rob6868 in reply to Adaboo]

[Adaboo in reply to Rob6868]

Look on the top right hand side where it says search healthunlocked, just type in there. There are loads of forums for just about everything on here 🙂

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Rob6868]

What about BMI and waist? 😀

[Ianc2 in reply to MichaelJH]

You both will need to publish your height?

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Ianc2]

If waist is half height to get a 30 waist I need to lose 14" (not waist)! 😀

[Rob6868 in reply to MichaelJH]

I won't catch Milkfairy for waist I'm a bloke and can't get back into my school shorts thank you Michael lol

I'm renaming Milkfairy "skinny lizzie "

[Milkfairy Heart Star in reply to Rob6868]

For men it's a waist of 36'' .

My height is 1.75m

[Rob6868 in reply to Milkfairy]

I'm a 34 and 6.1 in my lovely new red heels😁😂😂

[Handel in reply to Rob6868]

Hi Rob. Wished my HbA1c was great like yours but then again, I'm a very long term insulin dependent!

Why on earth do you want to get back into your school shorts??!! I've now got a mental image that'll take a while to clear!!

All the very best to you. You've done good as they say xxxx

[Rob6868 in reply to MichaelJH]

34 waist 6.1 and BMI I think is 25? was 29/30 when I started this journey

[Rob6868]

Can you get a HOMA test done through the doctors?

Is it a more accurate test?
