OK, thanks!
OK, thanks!Normal for norfolk
NFA - no further appointments, usually a patient that has agreed to opt out, and self diagnose and treat themselves outside the NHS system and advise, at their responsibility.
Google is your friend!
That's how I found this site.
Depending on which area of the country you are from, you may not know that Norfolk has a reputation for inbreeding which can result in low IQ and physical deformity.
Hence the Norfolk greeting of "Give me six!".
Baseless rumour these days, but possibly some basis when the extensive fenlands made travel very difficult and led to small, isolated communities. Before the Dutch came and drained them.
See https://www.discovernorfolk.co.uk/story/history-of-the-fens-81/ and also http://www.englishmonarchs.co.uk/normans_14.html.
" Ely at that time was an island in the fenland, William was foiled on three occasions by Hereward in his attempts to build a causeway across the impassable marshes, known as the Aldreth Causeway. However, during William's first attack the weight of the troops on the bridge was so great that the causeway sank and many soldiers drowned."
Fascinating subject, diabetes.

Just found out that my triglyceride reading is 1.0The "new" thinking about cholesterol is that the absolute number is irrelevant and far more important are ratios between the types that make up that number. So if we don't know what the individual numbers are it's very hard to say what is going on. Needless to say a lot of GP's are way behind the curve on this.
Just found out my triglyceride reading is 1.0You might be able to request a printout at the desk - I have not seen my own GP since diagnosis - he put NFA on my notes.
Triglyceride reading was 1.0OK, thank you. Need to ask GP what my Triglyceride part was (might take a few days)
From that page I linked toJust found out that my triglyceride reading is 1.0
Oh phew!! Thank youFrom that page I linked to
"
If lipid values are expressed as mmol/L (like in Australia, Canada, and Europe);
TG/HDL-C ratio less than 0.87 is ideal
TG/HDL-C ratio above 1.74 is too high
TG/HDL-C ratio above 2.62 is much too high'
So if your Trigs number was 1 and your HDL was 2.4 then we get 1/2.4 which equals 0.4167 which is IDEAL
Well done you!
I've recently moved back to UK after living in France for 11 years and was assigned to a young, S. African GP who is fully clued up on LCHF and agrees with everything I'm doing!! I think if I show her these readings next time I see her, she'll take them onboard.By the by .. it's highly unlikely that your doctor will know about this as it's fairly cutting edge research.. well probably new in the last 5 years and probably not on the curriculum at med school yet so they'll probably try and get you onto statins anyway. A sad but oft seen state of affairs.
Oh phew!! Thank you
Thank you!Well done, lass. Great numbers.
Great news.. you have one of the few...I've recently moved back to UK after living in France for 11 years and was assigned to a young, S.

Many thanks for your help and advice.
Thanks! I'm so pleased! I think I was lucky enough to find out early that I had pre-diabetes so set out to do something about it pdq. . .Great news.. you have one of the few...
Where in France did you live? I used to be north of Bordeaux in the Medoc.
