Had my 3 month review today with diabetes nurse.
HbA1c is 5.7% (39) down from 6.6% (49). Now in normal range.
ALT (fatty liver indicator) is 39 down from 59. Now in normal range.
HDL up from 1.8 to 2.4.
LDL same at 4.
Triglycerides down 1.62 from 1.82.
Diabetes nurse aware that cholesterol goes up when you lose weight!
Lost 5kg.

Changes I made included dropping healthy carbs (I didn't really eat unhealthy carbs or sugars anyway) and some fasting in the shape of missing meals.
No wheat, rice, beans, lentils, starchy veg etc in my diet.
Increase veg, eggs, healthy fats, meat.
Less fruit but didn't eat much and didn't drink juice.
No change to exercise or alcohol consumption :)

I genuinely don't believe it would have happened without this community and forum.
Thanks to everyone for support, valuable insight and useful/appropriate information :)
My diabetes nurse was really excited and pleased by the result :) even after I told her what I was doing ;)

Trig/HDL of better than 0.87 is considered brilliant..
Yours 1.62/2.4 is 0.675 so amazing!

Better being the lower number desirable? (According to that calculation, mine is 0.31, so I'm either a walking miracle (joke!), or in big trouble.

Sorry yes the lower the better... so you as always are completely amazing!

The £5's in the post. :)

My inconveniently stratospheric total is always what holds the conversations though.

Very well done from me, @copilost . Every single n1 confounding the chronic, progressive label is another step in the right direction.
