[QUOTE="lambcolin, post: 1595815, member: 334199"] just returned from my annual review with the specialist nurse. Low carbing has reduced my glucose levels and my plasma glucose is now at 9.4mmol/L and my daily measurements first thing in the morning is usually about 6.5 mmol/L. Now they're saying that my cholesterol is too high and that i should begin taking a statin..something that i do not want to do.I have a total cholesterol level of 5.6 a HDL of 1.49 and triglycerides of 4.63. I am so confused over what is good or bad cholesterol because under the low carb high fat diet that i have been using i am eating all the things that the nhs recommends that i do not eat.I have no weight problems i am fit and healthy and do not want to start taking any medicine if i can avoid it.......any advice?
