Had my 3 month review today with diabetes nurse.
HbA1c is 5.7% (39) down from 6.6% (49). Now in normal range.
ALT (fatty liver indicator) is 39 down from 59. Now in normal range.
HDL up from 1.8 to 2.4.
LDL same at 4.
Triglycerides down 1.62 from 1.82.
Diabetes nurse aware that cholesterol goes up when you lose weight!
Lost 5kg.

Changes I made included dropping healthy carbs (I didn't really eat unhealthy carbs or sugars anyway) and some fasting in the shape of missing meals.
No wheat, rice, beans, lentils, starchy veg etc in my diet.
Increase veg, eggs, healthy fats, meat.
Less fruit but didn't eat much and didn't drink juice.
No change to exercise or alcohol consumption

Better being the lower number desirable? (According to that calculation, mine is 0.31, so I'm either a walking miracle (joke!), or in big trouble.
