[QUOTE="Tirianne, post: 1034566, member: 196322"] A very interesting thread -thanks everyone. I was diagnosed type 2 in June last year and am just 2 pounds away from losimg 3 stone and my HbA1c has gone down in stages from 81 to 53 and the latest result is 46. I was told it was unlikely to fall any lower , (hoping to prove them wrong on that one) and I'm on 500mg of Metformin. I'm following the LCHF diet and have seen a slight dip and now a slight rise in my Cholesterol levels and am wondering if this is down to the diet (I have been eating a lot of cheese and full fat greek yogurt + double cream at Christmas!!) or the fact I'm losing weight with 2 more stones to go. I'm seeing my GP in 2 weeks time and statins have been mentioned.... but I really don't want to go down that route and want to try and get the levels down with any other changes I can discover - so any thoughts most welcome!! June 2105 - Cholesterol 4.7, HDL 1.5, LDL 2.4, Triglyceride 1.7 Nov 2015 - Cholesterol 4.4, HDL 1.6, LDL 2.2, Triglyceride 1.2 Jan 2016 - Cholesterol 4.9, HDL 1.9, LDL 2.5, Triglyceride 1.7 [/QUOTE]
