[QUOTE="briped, post: 2015555, member: 472718"] Thanks Nicole, no I don't have a history of hypertension, and am not really worried, because I know that last time it was measured it was perfectly acceptable and was even coming down a bit. No, I'm sure it was those scales and my reaction to them. She did measure it three times, and saw it coming down :) Just funny how sheer worry over my weight could make me react that strongly. If [USER=323454]@ziggy_w[/USER] is right, and she usually is, my trigs could well be a little higher because I wasn't fasting, so maybe the ratio was 1:1, but isn't it annoying how I didn't know she was going to do my lipids? I'd have fasted, had I known. As it is I hardly eat any carbs. I try to stay below 16g per day, so I don't see much room for improvement there. I also watched a couple of videos on how LDL tends to go higher on LCHF. I'll have to admit that much of the biochemistry was Russian to me, but I think I got the gist, and basically the video confirmed the numbers I saw today after one year on Low Carb. Higher HDL for example, and I'm fairly sure my trigs have come down. Cholesterol is quite confusing, isn't it? Also, I'm no longer so sure that LDL is the monster it's made out to be, only if the particles tend to be small, which mine didn't. My GP does indeed seem to be very orthodox, but also open minded. Maybe I can turn her around? :) I know that she was ever so impressed by my HbA1C, and even took notes when I told her about my way of eating. "Only above ground veggies? Brilliant!No fruit!? o_O True, fruit does make your BS shoot up". [/QUOTE]
