[QUOTE="msmi1970, post: 838044, member: 129795"] Hello :) Good to see another success story with A1C. Don't know if this will help but here is what i think. I lost 65 pounds in about 7 months. Won't discuss the overwhelming benefits of LCHF here. My LDL went from 4 to 8. Total Cholesterol from 6 to 10. HDL & Trigs up/down but relatively stable although overall my HDL has dropped & Trigs gone up since starting LCHF. I monitor my lipid panel regularly. There is a LOT of info & advice out there. Best to read as much as you can & decide for yourself. I refused statins when it came to lowering cholesterol BUT later the decision was taken out of my hands when faced with a different, more immediate medical problem. the consensus is that massive/rapid weight loss pours Cholesterol/Triglycerides into your bloodstream and this is probably true. but it takes a LOT of faith to refuse statins when you see your personal numbers start to climb & stay there!! However, your ratios are pretty good so i would NOT worry too much about it!! All the best!! [/QUOTE]
