Hi all,
I've been following a ketogenic diet for six months now, and my control has been utterly exceptional, no question. However, I've just had my first lot of blood test results, as I'm seeing my consultant this week, and they've given me cause for concern, so wanted to get a few views from folks here.
Cholesterol 21.5
Triglycerides 3.5
HDL 3.1
LDL 16.8
Chol:HDL ratio 6.9
Historically, my cholesterol level has always been around 4 to 5. I've not had a full profile done before, so don't know how it would compare, but pretty sure it would have been better than this!
On the plus side, my HbA1c has come down to 51. Previously, it was usually around low 60's, never lower than 57.
Any thoughts / comments welcome.
