- When people who know nothing about the LCHF diet tell me I'm killing myself being on it. I was killing myself not being on it!
I had my 6 mth blood test on Tuesday. The results in the afternoon
HbA1c 57 mmol/mol down from 59 6 mths ago and I think 80 something a year ago. Upsetting major family issues took over my brain! But now back on track and behaving myself
I got a text msg from my Dr saying that the results were 'reassuring and other blood results within range'
Dec result
Ldl 4.1
Hdl 1.6
6 mths ago
Ldl 2.3
Hdl 1.2
Are the cholesterol results good enough or 'room for improvement'?
Unknown to the Dr I stopped taking statins, due to aching limbs and went back to plant sterols, which I was advised to take a good few years ago by the diabetic nurse, who said she would never touch statins. She was also the one who suggested the low carb diet. She was a breath of fresh air and up to date with the new ideas. Sadly she retired!
My cholesterol was never high, I was put on them as quote from Dr "belt and braces''. But in myself I feel far better on sterols than statins. Aching limbs have gone.
I will confess my sins to the Dr in 6 mths time.
