been low carbing for almost 2 years since diagnosis. Lost five and a half stone (plus an extra two that I lost before diagnosis) so down to 10.5 from almost 18 stone. I'm 44 (as of yesterday!) my 4 hba1cs since losing weight have been 36, 31, 36 and 35 (last week). Total cholesterol has been 4.9, 4.5, 4.9 and last week 5.4 ... so I've been called back and 'offered' statins (which I declined).
My hdl is 1.9, my ldl is 3.5. Can't remeber the triglyceride number but it's ok, and my ratio is therefore 3. How can I bring the ldl down? She gave me the whole eat brown rice/bread/pasta stay off the mayo/cheese and cream routine. The reason I reckon it's up is now I'm not trying to lose weight I'm snacking on cheese and baking with almond flour. I'm not overwowed by cheese, it's just the easiest thing to snack on that's low carb. Any better alternatives??
