Your blood glucose going down is far more significant for your future health than your cholesterol going up. Hope you have watched the Ken Sikaris video and it has reassured you. Just keep doing what you are doing and don't worry about cholesterol at all. Get a breakdown of your numbers. It is very likely that your total cholesterol has gone up because your HDL has gone up. High HDL and low Triglicerides are a much better marker for heart health than Total Cholesterol and LDL.
Er, just no really.
It's very easy to get fixated on BG as the only single health risk, and to simply dismiss all others out of hand.
It's important to take a holistic approach and ensure that you stay healthy overall.
All health markers are important to many of us.
