[kevinf1967]

well went to docs today to get feedback on my last blood test

was diagnosed last October.. have been following mainly LCHF diet (well it has been xmas )

anyway todays results are in

HbA1c 6.8% down from 7.4%
LDL 4
HDL 1.1
trig 1.1
total cholesterol 5.6
fasting blood 5.9 (down from 6.7)
weight have lost 6.5 kilos
and BP is down from 140/80 to 120/80

all this without giving up bacon :lol: so total cholesterol to work on, but all in all quite pleased all going in the right direction. No tablets apart from ramipril for BP

Brilliant, I am trying to manage with out taking any medicine. I was also diagnosed in October. I am not getting my numbers down as low as you and have been eating a really low carb diet. Not so much high fat but loads of greens and veg, little dairy. Whats the secret? I have a terrible problem with managing stress. I have noticed stress sky rockets my numbers.
