Hello good people of this forum, I'm in need of a bit of help.
I was diagnosed T2 in March, switched to a LCFF diet and have so far lost 3 stone, with another couple still to lose at least.
I had my second lot of blood tests last week and l'm a tad disappointed, I don't like the way my cholesterol is going, my results are (most recent results first, second figures taken back in June).
HbA1C 41mmol/mol - up from 40
Total cholesterol 6.3mmol/l - up from 5.6
HDL - 1mmol/l - up from 0.9
LDL - 4.5mmol/l - up from 3.7
Trig - 1.8mmol/l - down from 2.1
So l'm obviously over doing the full fat bit.
How do these results look to someone more experienced than me on this? I've resisted statins, I would rather alter my diet first.
Thanks in advance
