[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 2372261, member: 219467"] Excellent well done indeed. Brilliant too Shame (about the fasted bit) but still very good Trig levels too Trig/HDL is now thought to be one of the more important ratios. Anything under 0.87 is considered excellent Yours is 1/1.9 = 0.526 which is even more excellent. Your doctor (and it is a lottery) may, or more likely, may not be up to date. Your LDL is calculated and the calculation has been shown to not work so well with people following a low carb diet. If you are still losing weight then your levels have probably not settled and anyway cholesterol measures are surprisingly dynamic like blood sugars so... to prescribe a medication on the basis of one set of readings is kind of crazy. As always you should decide what to put into your body ... your doc is there to advise only. As for metformin I'm fairly anti as it made me quite ill but again it's up to you. [/QUOTE]
