Hi everyone
Just got hubbies test results today
He was diagnosed after a heart attack 3 months ago,now on metformin.
only started low carbing late december after joining this site
hbac1 7.2, trigs 1.3. hdl 1, ldl 1, cholestorol 2.6.
Diabetic Nurse said she would like his ldl up a bit. any ideas?
Im guessing that the next Hbac1 will be better next time when he has been low carbing for the whole time, instead of the huge amounts of carbs he was told to eat .
Thanks to you all for the great advice on these forums
Janie
 
I think you mean HDL should be higher. the others are brilliant!
Remember it by Ldl =Low
Hdl = high
Try eating a bit more fat in the form of oily fish and cheese. that might do it. Put cream into food.
 
Less carbs and more fat will almost certainly reverse those lipids, the trigs change rapidly, the HDL and LDL may take longer for dietary changes to filter through. Good first attempt!
