Hi Charlie, i had my test results today, mine is 8.5, i am in the high risk, not because of my diet(always had low fat) but it's hereditry, i have high blood pressure as well, inherited from my dad Helen

I've never had one done but my optitian told me to get one a year ago and I forgot, can you just ask the doctor for one?. Jenny

Doc says he's not too concerned as I'm not in risk group but it needs to be around 4!!! Does that mean no plum duff and doubly whipped gooey cream!!!!!
