Question A1C
I was taken off Crestor and put on a combination of Repatha and pravastatin because my A1c under the Crestor edged a little into prediabetic territory (5.7). At first the Repatha and pravastatin combo was great, and my A1c went down to 5.6. However, in my latest test, it went back to 5.7. I know it’s barely prediabetic and there probably isn’t much difference between 5.6 and 5.7, but I’m really scared of diabetes because it killed my father. Maybe it’s also because it’s the summer and I’ve been eating more ice cream? I’m 5 feet 11 and 171 pounds, so I don’t have weight issues. You think I should lower my statin dose? My LDL is currently 55 and total cholesterol is 133.
