[QUOTE="BooJewels, post: 869834, member: 181094"] I had my annual review today. Started lower carbing mid-March and a few days later started on insulin - I've increased the dose today and we hope that this might be the final level until I maybe lose more weight or get fitter with increasing exercise and can hopefully reduce it again. I've dropped 13lbs since March. I was hoping for more, but considering I started on insulin and we've been titrating my dose upwards, I'm happy not to have gained weight. My HbA1c was down to 64 (7.9%) - I was hoping for anything under 70, it was upper 70s last time. Cholesterol 4.0 (was 4.6) HDL 0.92 (was 0.75) LDL 2.5 (was 2.9) Ratio 4.3 (was 6.1) Trigs 1.17 (was 2.02) I knew the glucose was coming down, but the lipid stuff you just can't guess at until you have bloods done. So I'm especially and unexpectedly pleased with those. [/QUOTE]
