    Raised cholesterol since starting LCHF

    Just seen the replies so sorry for not replying, no I didn't fast, but I certainly will do on my next test. So there is no real reason to be running my cholesterol at below 4. It wasn't long ago it was below 5 I'm just trying to avoid the doc changing my statins to get me lower.

    Visit to Doctor This AM

So maybe go get an eye test to put your mind at ease. But I wouldn't worry just now about your...
