LFT was 66 which is outside the 'normal' range but she said it was totally fine compared to what it was pre weight loss.

She wants my TC to come down to 4 or less. She advises cutting out the soft cheese and having an apple instead. [emoji16]

I await my verdict at 2.20pm-ish

This is one of them threads where the difference between type1 and type 2 posters is apparent. Type 2's don't need a big meal at the end of the night.

Thank you both. Finally got my head round it. My personal figures are fine so I won't be going on a statin. I shouldn't have told her about the high fat part of my low carb lifestyle [emoji13]

I'm struggling with that table tbh Clive...

TC 4.5 Trigs 1.6 HDL 1.5 LDL 2.3 Ratio 3.0 Does this warrant being put on a statin? She's a huge fan of statins. I'm not. Any advice?

Thank you - I will pursue this out of a sense of duty really...

Do we know how much they weigh?

From MyFitnessPal;

She did say you could eat your way to type t2 diabetes but as you get older if you avoid cheese and butter that would help!

..... says lady at Asda Pharmacy this morning. I've been type 2 diagnosed for 2 years but decided to take the free Asda pharmacy finger prick test today. My reading was 6.3 - which is high for me (liver dump)? She also said it was possible to cure type 2. I think Asda should withdraw...

I don't take any diabetic meds but as I'm on the diabetic register I am entitled to free prescriptions as the rules stand.

I love ham, cheese and red onion with a dash of Tabasco sauce!
