First review after starting LCHF

[catinahat]

I have just returned from my first review since adopting the LCHF diet and stopping the statins.
The HbA1c result at my last review was 59, now it is 35 and although the total cholesterol has risen from 3•2 to 5•3, the LDL and trig levels have remained the same with only the HDL showing a rise.
I know you can't tell from my picture but I am grinning like a fool.

Fantastic news @catinahat. Your hard work has been rewarded with such a great A1c result. Delighted for you. X

Thanks zand.
The review was with the practice nurse, she asked how I had managed to get such good control. I explained how I use my (self funded) meter to discover which foods I can tolerate and that I was on a LCHF diet, she was amazed that I had lowered my HbA1c, lost weight and improved my HDL cholesterol by eating a high fat diet.

Even better!

That's great @catinahat, and hopefully another 'enlightened' DN even if she can't (yet) formally recommend it to others.
