Preformed cholesterol does not not increase risk (egg yolk) risk by lowering cholesterol (statins lower cholesterol) Systolic: when the heart pumps (greatest pressure: diastolic when the heart relaxes (in between heartbeat, must have repeated tests before declaring hypertension, high stress = high blood pressure (blood white coat pressure: increases in doctors. 120 mm hg / 80 mm hg, higher is not normal office) Increase blood pressure when problems with bad partners: 6 mm hg variance: tests for diabetes. Fasting blood glucose test (most common, overnight fast: diabetes >7 mmol/l, prediabetes 5. 5-7 mmol/l, oral glucose tolerance test (more accurate than fasting glucose test, diabetes >11 mmol/l. Prediabetes 7. 8-11 mmol/l: hemoglobin a1c : meaningful measure, average blood sugar over 2-3 months, measures the link between glucose and proteins, % of proteins that have interacted with glucose. Less than 7% no diabetes (corresponds to average blood glucose of 8. 3 mmol/l: target levels. Fasting or premeal: ideal (4-6) optimal (4-7) sub-optimal (7. 1-10) inadequate >10.
