Hi today I went gp to get my results. Hba1c was 4.7%. Hdl was 1.11, LDL was 2.85, triglycerides was 1.27, total cholesterol was 4.54. Is my results ok?
 
I just test on blood. What test kit do you use. Manufacturer etc?

I guess that you are on very low carbohydrate diet ?

Ketones in urine means that the body is making ketones. The best way to measure Ketones is as beta hydroxy butyrate in the blood. The test sticks are rather expensive in most countries except Australia.
Testing for ketones in urine is not very accurate, depends on amounts of urine excreted and degree of hydration of the body etc.
 
Hi. Ketones are only a problem when you also have very high blood sugar. Your HBa1c shows your blood suagr is well under control so ignore th ketones. Your cholesterol reading is fine.
