- 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!
HbA1c Metformin days 62
LCHF days 56
Cholesterol on statins 3.4
Off statins 5.8
HD no change but LD gone from 1.6 to 4.49
Seems the 2 really major spikes I had in my HbA1c were in 2012 when my baby grandson was very ill and in 2014 when I was assaulted in my house by a man fixing the boiler! Otherwise I have been able to get levels down before with diet and exercise. Nurse agreed that I can stay off diabetic medication, but we agreed to 1/2 dose simvastatin for 6 wks and see if it has any effect on my health and cholesterol
All in all the nurse was pleased with the results. I would have liked lower HbA1c but I have another 6 wks to improve things.
Your advice?
