[QUOTE="Hertfordshiremum, post: 2417208, member: 507802"] A1c is great for type 1 LADA. Well done, Libre is often 1mmol below actual. Don’t worry that’s a great result. I had the same problem with cholesterol slowly edging up despite healthy eating. My diabetic nurse says just worry about triglycerides, I know my doctor disagrees with her though! depending on your age the range varies but seems like you are ‘in range’ regardless but obviously check. I had crept up to 6 for cholesterol, and finally tried statins after a couple of years refusing and suffered terrible side effects which disappeared after 3 days of stopping them. I then spoke to a nutritionist and have lowered my total cholesterol back down to 5, main differences were adding edamame beans to my diet and swapping yogurt for Alpro. I still eat a small amount of cheese with my salad at lunch but not much else in dairy. This has worked for me. Lots of cholesterol sites listing the pros and cons, there is a lot online, it depends on your overall circumstances and is up to you. Statins could be a great help, my dad at 81, takes a low dose with no obvious adverse effects and always gets in range results. However I had a terrible few weeks and don’t really want to try anymore. It’s a very individual decision in my opinion. The nutritionist I spoke to offered me the best advise, my diabetic nurse referred me on the nhs. [/QUOTE]
