- When people who know nothing about the LCHF diet tell me I'm killing myself being on it. I was killing myself not being on it!
I knew I hadn't been good, various reasons, so comfort eating. But latest HbA1c 88 18 months ago 54
Cholesterol 6.6 mmol, previously 6.1
HDL 1.31, previously 1.21
LDL 3.9 previously 4.6
Triglycerides 3.0 previously 1.3
I have been taking 1 x 1mgGlimepiride daily.
Now on 1x 10mg Empagliflozin daily
Nurse wants me to take 1 x 10mg Atorvastatin.
I'm back on the LCHF diet which helped me to greatly reduce my levels across the board in the past. But after a change of job to one that that I didn't enjoy things slipped. Now I'm retired I'm back in full control again.
I have to have another full blood test in a month. So will hang off the statin for now, back taking my plant sterol.
Any other advice folk?
The nurse gave me a machine to test my BS After years of asking, I got one without asking. In the end I refused to tell them my BS reading. New nurse, new brush
