Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
Hi, not sure this is the right thread for my question. I’m told i have to increase my statin (right now at 10mg per day) because my ldl is “high” for a diabetic at 2,39. My other results are as follows:
Total cholesterol. 4,79
Hdl. 1,76
Trig. 1,39
I had patted myself on the back for reasonably good fasting blood results, and am now doubting myself. If i take a higher dose of statins, i get leg cramps... i’m about to start keto at 50g carb/day to give a boost to my stagnating weight loss.
The important ratio is total cholesterol/HDL.
The number should be less than 4.
Your ratio is 2.72.
You are well within healthy limits and in my biased opinion you should consider reducing or stopping the statins!
My results below in a separate post.
