My June Hba1c blood test of 44 has been confirmed again this week as 44 so it is pre diabetes. Whilst the cholesterol check has jumped from 4 in June to 6 this week. So I am now adding statins to my growing medicine chest to bring down my cholesterol and my new years resolution is to lose weight and also cut out nice things like sticky toffee pudding and custard to reduce the sugar in take.
I understand that the Hba1c reading of 20-42 is normal and 48 upwards is diabetes and I am in middle and could go either way. This is all new to me so I need to learn fast and get my diet sorted!
