Is Diabetes, Related With High Cholesterol And Frequent Urination?
Hi, I am Bhanuprakash, 37 yrs old, I diagnosed with high cholesterol. I am on complete stict diet since 15months.
Still my cholesterol levels are too high. In our family, nobody had this cholesterol. And also, mine fasting blood sugar reads always above 110 - 120mg/dl.
I have lost around 8 kilos in 8 months. I used to go frequent urination during sleeping(2 or 3 times).
My HbA1c is 5.9% (on 29th Dec. 2009) Now it's 5.0%.
Kindly suggest me , am a Diabetic or not? And also worried about my high cholesterol levels. Cardiologist adivised me to take Rozat 10mg tablet daily for life long to prevent heart attack.Will I suffer heart attack without medicines or else Yoga or stress reducing exercises will bring down cholesterol & fasting sugar level.
Note: My PPBS is always normal(< 130mg/dl) after 2 hours of breakfast.

Dear Bhanuprakash
i can understand your concern
in my opinion the symptoms of diabetes will be
1.increased urination
2.tiredness
3.weight loss
4.non healing of wound
most of this symptoms are due to elevated blood sugar.
As in your case there is no elevated blood sugar and hba1c% is also with in normal limits so it might not be diabetes.
The blood cholesterol levels when increases it will obstruct the action of insulin.
so there is increased chance that uncontrolled cholesterol can lead to diabetes.
As your doctor rightly said his uncontrolled cholesterol will increase the blocking of blood vessels and may cause heart attack the medication given by your doctor helps in reducing the cholesterol and prevents blocking of blood vessel and hence forth prevents heart attacks.
yoga will bring down your cholesterol and sugar level and worth giving a try.
kindly continue your medictionand review cholesterol test after 3 months
regards
