Okay I will need to look into this further. I wrote the wrong test levels. It's Triglycerides 3.6 mmol Cholesterol/HDL Ratio 11.3 So would this despite being concerning to the Docs be classed as in the sweet zone that they are referring to in the study?

Wow the timing is fantastic for this to drop, will grab this for a watch tomorrow night cheers.

First off my Diabetes is great, low carb has no doubt been pivotal to getting my levels back in the normal and stay there. But my GP is concerned about my lipid results which have been off for a long time despite my best efforts to try and improve. My Triglycerides are very high and my...

Hi Mark, could well be i dont get any changes cosmetically it's purely just prickly/pins n needles like feeling on the tips of my fingers and toes when it happens even typing on a keyboard feels like im slamming my fingers down on the keyboard when it normalises typing feels normal again. if it...

That's good to know and reassuring, i have a lot going on with the Diabetes, Prolactinoma, High Trigs and High HDL/Cholesterol Ratio and trying to get a better understanding of what symptoms are tied to which conditions, so glad to know i can tick this one off being a diabetes related neuropathy...

Thanks got some more on the way just to be sure, in the meantime im testing with 1 strip from each of my expired vials so testing 3x before meal and after and so far all are reporting around the same numbers, could still be off but at least they are all consistently off lol.

Sorry if this is a silly question, I for a long time associated feeling these sensations as unmanaged BS levels, it's hard to describe the sensation but i guess its like pins n needles in the fingers and toes but more prickly. I had them tonight after eating however when i tested I was still...

Hey, I'm fairly sure I bought two batches of my test strips some point last year but when looking at both I believe the expiry date was 11/2025. These are Gluco Navii ones, I currently dont have the funds to replace them right now, but was wondering how inaccurate they will be if the date im...

Hey, Just back from my yearly review and my Doc continues to be happy regarding my Blood Sugar levels basically in normal however they are concerned about my Triglycerides and Chol/HDL Ratio and looking to start me on Statins. I'll be honest im a bit confused as I had thought long term Low...

Hey Resurgam, yeah I will stay on course and hopefully see results then over months I know that when i was off course for that period when i randomly tested I was hitting 18.0 and other scarily high numbers which prompted me to get back on track so that is quite possible. I had thought it might...

Hi guys thanks for the replies after the above testing and feeling a little disheartened I made myself some Scrambled Eggs with Butter and 1 Cumberland Sausage with a dollop of Mayo, ate this then went to sleep for 6 hours. When I woke up I tested again and firstly got 10.4 and a minute later...

Hey guys, A while back I was diagnosed and managed to get into normal levels with diet alone, I very recently messed up my diet due to stress and other things going on. I attempted to get back on track a couple of months but fell off again but I've been back on my low carb diet the last 2 weeks...

Hey, During lockdown was diagnosed with TYPE 2 diabetes and managed to get this under control using diet alone sticking to low carb and testing. I started a new job a few months back and this approach went right out of the window and went back to mainly eating what I like and didn't order test...

Yeah 12 hour fast, been low carb since diagnosis and tests since then have had my levels around 8.4 Doc said 4 is the healthy level.

Just had recent blood tests done and received the following letter. Many thanks for coming up for your blood tests. I am waiting for some of the more specialised endocrine blood tests but we discussed your cholesterol and I would like you to know this is still quite raised at 8.6 with a hadl...
