So you might get more help in the UK diabetes newsgroup where they'll be more familiar with the scales. WRT to the glucose, 6.5 is a good number if it's an hour or two after a meal, but not so great if it's a fasting number. According to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, treating diabetes is successful if you keep the fasting number under 110 (6.1 in your units). That's what they want to see in *diabetics,* more normal numbers for nondiabetics fasting would be lower still, usually 80-90 (4.4-5.0 in your units).

If it were me, I'd try adding silymarin (milk thistle) to my supplements until my next workup. Total cholesterol is high too. If you're concerned, or your doctor is pushing for drugs, I'd ask for a lipoprotein analysis first to find out if there's really a problem before they begin treating it. The LDL is high, but you can't tell how accurate it is since it's a calculated value, which are notoriously inaccurate. If it was me, I'd ask for a direct measurement if the lipoprotein analysis weren't forthcoming. How long have you been low-carbing? Improvement can take up to a year.

This doesn't work for everything else because the factor for conversion depends on the molecular weight of what they're measuring; it works for glucose only. So you might get more help in the UK diabetes newsgroup where they'll be more familiar with the scales. WRT to the glucose, 6.5 is a good number if it's an hour or two after a meal, but not so great if it's a fasting number. OH! It was a fasting number. She also took blood to send away and will contact me if I need a glucose tolerance test. I won't get the results from that for another week or so. According to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, treating diabetes is successful if you keep the fasting number under 110 (6.1 in your units). That's what they want to see in *diabetics,* more normal numbers for nondiabetics fasting would be lower still, usually 80-90 (4.4-5.0 in your units). Ok thanks. Sheesh I was strutting at 6.5 ) Creatine 80 umol 1/1 (60 - 110) Bilirubin 7 umol 1/1 (0-22) ALT h 37 IU/1 (1-31) A.Phos 108 IU/1 (35 -135) F.

If it were me, I'd try adding silymarin (milk thistle) to my supplements until my next workup. OK I will look for that. Oddly enough, a few weeks ago when I got the test that showed up the cholesterol, I had a liver test at the same time and it came back ok! Total cholesterol is high too. If you're concerned, or your doctor is pushing for drugs, I'd ask for a lipoprotein analysis first to find out if there's really a problem before they begin treating it. The LDL is high, but you can't tell how accurate it is since it's a calculated value, which are notoriously inaccurate. If it was me, I'd ask for a direct measurement if the lipoprotein analysis weren't forthcoming. Well, we discussed it and she said it wasn't worrying atm. But if the blood test I had a wee while later showed up as me being diabetec, the whole thing would change and I would need to be medicated. How long have you been low-carbing? Improvement can take up to a year. I have a long way to go for that then. I believe that low carbing will help that yes? Lots more info on lab work he http://www.labtestsonline.org/understanding/ Thanks Jackie, I have saved this too |

Probably doing an HbA1c. It's sort of an indicative of average blood glucose over the last 3 months (with lots of caveats). Just so you know what the numbers mean when you get the results... under 5% means you're probably not diabetic. The AACE guidelines say diabetics should be treated to keep their numbers under 6.5% and diabetics working hard at it aim to be under 6% to make the "5% club". -- http://www.ornery-geeks.org/consulting/ |
