Thank you! Like you, I’ve been trying so hard to not have carbs and upped my fat but obviously to the wrong things... just when I got used to Cream in my coffee [emoji24] when my cholesterol is better my BS is high and vice versa! Trying to manage it is like trying to nail jelly to a tree...

I work from home 60 plus hours, i make sure I do 10,000 steps twice a week and try and do 30 mins of activity a day. I Go on treadmill when I can but been very slack with it lately! Need to go back on it! Starting tomorrow! Thank you :)

Would you take Statins in my situation? They keep offering and I keep refusing but the cholesterol is a never ending battle to lower it. It’s the exercise mainly as I work such long hours in a sedentary job.

It was fasted. Had test first thing his morning and hadn’t eaten for approx 8-10 hours before.

June 2014 - Serum triglyceride levels 1.81 mmol/L ...... but that was last time they were done I think? Unless you can see them above?

I asked them specifically to do the Trigs but they didn’t! I’ll screenshot the results, if you could interpret them for me that’ll be great.

I’m T2 and manage by diet alone, never taken pills to manage. A1c has never been above 51 and this test today shows it’s 47.. does this mean I am now Pre-diabetic levels? I know it’s not great but is it passable? Also following LCHF has risen my cholesterol from 4.9 to 5.6. Any tips on...

Really? I threw away my deep fat fryer in 2010 after my jeans no longer fit me [emoji85][emoji200] but Maybe once or twice a year I’ll fry some chips at home but not tested after... I will have to try! I know if I have roast potatoes in goose fat I hardly raise, but cannot find goose fat...

I find potatoes don’t affect me much, have a roast with a few spuds and loads of veg every Sunday. The odd sandwich with super seeded bread doesn’t affect me either. Occasionally have a few oven chips which don’t spike me too high but if I have 1 grain of rice I test in the 10’s/11’s two or more...

Cinnamon and bitter melon, manage by diet alone, if I can go the herbal route ill be very happy and lucky.

I am the same! It’s too cold, dark and wet to exercise after work. Roll on spring!!!

Sorry for late reply! Wasn’t aware of had replies? I take 2 pills 3 times a day and in 3 months my cholesterol has gone from 5.7 to 4.9 and a1c from 51 to 48. I don’t take the bitter melon white as often now, just the cinnamon

I buy Swanson cinnamon 375mg and take 2 before meals. Just brought some lecithin pills (I think it’s called that) from same website (heath monthly) as that’s also good to lower cholesterol. Will let you know next result in April.

I think they do lower it. I take 2 before each meal and notice my levels are lower 2 hours after than if I forget to that them. I tried 3 months on Bitter Melon tablets and they didn’t do any difference to cholesterol as far as I was aware but for such a large drop on my cholesterol when I had...

Not sure if it’s a Coincidence but I’ve been taking cinnamon supplements as heard it is good for blood sugar levels, anyway on my test last week my a1c went from 51 to 48 and cholesterol from 5.7 to 4.9! (Good cholesterol from 1.08 to 1.11) I Was so shocked at that as I’ve done nothing different...

Oh god I tried them last year and thought they tasted like a bonfire.. I may have to try them again as I do miss bread every now n again. Xx
