[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 2048615, member: 400972"] Hi and welcome to the forum. First let me tag in [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] for her useful info post. It is a confusing time and many of us feel we haven’t received enough support from our HCPs, however this forum is bursting with support and advice so you’ve come to the right place. I’m glad you have got yourself a blood glucose meter and have commenced a low carb way of eating. Please ignore your nurse’s comments about limiting self testing. Loads of us test so we can learn what food we can tolerate and we can also monitor trends in our levels. High cholesterol, derranged liver function and high BP often come hand in hand with type 2, I had them all. All but my cholesterol have righted them selves with low carbing and getting my blood sugars to non diabetic levels. Although a high cholesterol total isn’t always as bad as it seems, you need to look at the breakdown of triglycerides, HDL & LDL. My total is high but my ratios are perfect. There are various on line calculators which will work out your ratios. The ratios are being used more and more to assess how harmful if at all your levels are. Edit to add, I’m sorry I can’t help with coeliac or it’s testing. [/QUOTE]
