Hi Ann,

Not sure I can answer your questions but I just had some thoughts.

Hemo AC1 you want it under a 6.0. I believe this test takes your glucose test one step further. Provides and average glucose levels over the 6 weeks prior to testing. Its more accurate than a fasting glucose where you an be high one day and low the next. Your is still ok but inching up.

Cholesterol is made in the liver, atleast like 70% and the rest roughly from diet. Your cholesterol might be ok depending on the ratio of LDL to HDL. Check your cholesterol ratio by dividing your cholesterol/HDL. UNder 5.0 is still ok.

Could be that your drugs are helping to slow your metabolism.

MrsD can probably add much more but these are just some thoughts.

Hope this helps and
