[QUOTE="Bluebell_GB, post: 1968788, member: 282468"] Another year and another review. Annual HbA1c came back as 31 (5.0 in old money) up from 30 last year - no concern. Annual eye examination came back as clear. Still no return of the background retinopathy. PN was concerned about the lipid panel: Total cholesterol 6.6 Triglyceride 1.21 HDL 1.9 Higher than Triglycerides so I am happy with that. LDL 4.2 I have read that this is calculated rather than measured and may be wrong for LCHF. Comments? Total C/HDL 3.5 Lower than 4 so I am happy with that. Doctor had told her that she wanted to increase my statin prescription and was a bit put out when I told her that I wasn't taking them. Also wanted to reduce my metformin. After some discussion during which I went through the whole LCHF thing, showed her my charts with high BG first thing in the morning (still not handling the liver dump) and talked about BG results in excess of 11 after a high carb meal (Christmas dinner - oops!) she accepted everything, agreed no change to the prescription and called me a "good patient". Just have to see if the doctor agrees! Regards Bluebell [/QUOTE]
