Message: <blockquote data-quote="AloeSvea" data-source="post: 1979253" data-attributes="member: 150927">HBAIc still holding at 44. Pleased that Xmas high-carb feast day did not take me up a notch. Weight, still as above, holding at a 2kg rise from semi-starvation, so bmi is 22.8. Waist size, my own criteria here, of as close to .45 as possible, still holding at .46 as above. I am for all intents and purposes - lean and muscular (for a middle-aged woman. More saggy skin and lines and grey hair than Ellen Ripley in the pic.)My trigs and cholesterol has settled down, reflecting that my observation that a digit higher LDL last test was due to body fat loss (fat released in the bloodstream), ditto trigs. In fact, my trig level is the healthiest I have ever seen it, post diagnosis, at 0.7 (last blood lipids it was 1.7), so I have a lovely trig/HDL ratio. And my LDL/HDL ratio is back to a healthier below 4.0 again. Hope this, along with physical fitness, will help keep me stroke-free.I haven't got the updated c-peptide/insulin result yet. But hoping I am keeping my own insulin production at healthy levels...My FBG has turned to custard again, according to the lab results. So BG going up in the morning even without food, initially quite high (mid 6s to low 7s) <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />. Good  FBGs were only temporary, for me, dependent on eating a very small amount.  Too bad! My liver is still over producing its own glucose. keeping my BGs higher than the food I eat would normally raise it (ie keto or LCHF, depending on the amount of berries I eat in a day. It's summer.) Those pesky free fatty acids, indeed.</blockquote>
