Cholesterol results

Just got my test results back from the diabetic clinic at the hospital. I have been having lots of cream, butter etc and was slightly worried that my numbers would be up. Result though! My total cholesterol is the same as previously (April) but my HDL is up and my LDL is down. So the LCHF is working. HbA1c is down again too.
 
Isn't it great to actually get good new from a doc!!! And confirmation you're eating the right diet!
 
Great news, well done. I am hoping my cholesterol numbers start to fall soon only so my HCPs get off my back about it. It is such a great feeling to see one's numbers fall and have it there in black and white to vindicate all the hard work so keep it up and a little smugness is allowed at such times!

Thanks everyone. It was a relief especially since I kept feeling that cream butter etc was the wrong thing to eat, but apparently not. Yay!

It is a really hard mental barrier to overcome, isn't it?
I know that I kept thinking 'but something this enjoyable HAS to be bad' and then my cholesterol results were just 0.2 higher than before I started high fatting, but my HDL had risen pleasantly, and my Trigs had fallen even lower so my goodish ratios had become optimum. I was very chuffed.

Of course it doesn't work for everyone, but I am really delighted that it works that way for me.
 
It was really hard especially since I was diagnosed in1991 and was told starchy carbs at every meal and low fat everything!
 
Brilliant results - well done!
