Where I Am At

Just thought I would update folks as to my progress. I have now lost over a stone so better take care at Christmas! I went for blood tests last week. My cholesterol is down but still over 5.0 so my Atorvastatin has been increased to 40mg as liver function was fine. HbA1c is down but still prediabetic but as everything is going in the right direction no other changes. LFT in six weeks and other bloods in three months.

A really good positive post! I am glad things are moving in the right direction. Hopefully your cholesterol and HbA1c will be in healthy range in a few months.

Well done.

I know it takes a lot of effort, but once the results start to show that you're going in the right direction, it really does give you a buzz - 2020 awaits😊
