[QUOTE="ainz, post: 309054, member: 42579"] Hi all Its now 6 months since I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes with a fasting BG of 7.0. I followed everybodies advice, started a low carb diet, exercised more and lost weight. I am now 10kg lighter (now 80kg) BMI 26, and best of all my last fasting BG came back as 5.1 so i'm happy with that. But....my cholesterol has shot up which is a concern for my doctor and me. The readings are: [b]Feb 2012 (diagnosed)[/b] Total: 4.4 HDL: 0.92 non-HDL 3.2 TC/HDL: 4.8 No Tri. available [b]May 2012[/b] Total: 5.6 HDL: 1.58 LDL: 3.5 HDL Ratio: 3.54 Tri: 1.14 [b]Sept 2012[/b] Total: 6.6 HDL: 1.43 LDL: 4.74 Tri: 0.94 I don't really understand the figures but the most noticeable shift is the increase in LDL. Should I be concerned? Should I stop the low carbing? Should I consider Statins? (which the doctor mentioned) Any advice would be useful because I'm really not sure which is the best course of action. Thanks Ainsley [/QUOTE]
