[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 8416740, member: 44728"] Probably best to talk to your GP or GP’s nurse about it. They’ll probably contact you anyway. Don’t panic and take their advice whatever it is. If you are Type 2 Diabetic, don’t let anybody try to tell you it isn’t reversible - It is. It is also very important to remember that an HbA1c test tells you what your situation was 3 months ago. Not today or any days between 3 months ago and today. So what ever actions you take, do not test again for at least 3 months (preferably longer) to see what effect any changes have made. Also that Diabetes is caused by lack of effective insulin, usually as a result of us getting older and the pancreas not being as good as when we were young. There are 2 things that reduce insulin effectiveness: 1. High Carbohydrates in food is 60% of the cause. Try to reduce levels of Carb intake and when you do eat them, chose ones that are digested as slowly as possible (Low GI index), Like Baked Potatoes instead of Pasta. Stop eating cereals for breakfast and eat bacon and eggs instead. Whole fruits instead of fruit juice, brown seeded bread instead of white bread. Try to limit any bread and alcohol intake. 2. The stress hormone Cortisol instantly effects insulin effectiveness and is 40% of the cause of Diabetes. So there is an irony here, insofar as if you stress about it, it makes the situation even worse! Try to increase your exercise levels to make your muscle cells want to use up more carb energy. Statins might have a reverse effect here because they can cause muscle aching. They also reduce the wrong (Good, HDL) type of cholesterol rather than the ones that need reducing (LDL type). But remember DON’T PANIC! [/QUOTE]
