[QUOTE="Citroenut, post: 1808547, member: 377028"] Hello! A little update from me. My latest blood test results are following: HbA1C - 4,9% Fasting blood sugar - ca 5.8 . I measure it myself. Fasting insulin 4,4 mIU/l I have lately started eating low carb. Mostly meat, eggs , butter , soar cream etc.. The positive thing is that my fasting insulin is much lower than before.( 4,4 vs 10 ) but look what happened to my cholesterol results: [SIZE=3]Total - 6.6 mmol/l HDL - 1,6 mmol/l LDL - 4,1 mmol/l[/SIZE] Triglycerides - 0,61 mmol/l I took an online calculator to calculate the ratios and it seems there is a bug in those results. It raised the LDL to 4,72 to be correct. [SIZE=3][B]Your Total Cholesterol of 6.60 is HIGH RISK[/B] [B]Your LDL of 4.72 is HIGH RISK[/B] [B]Your HDL of 1.6 is OPTIMAL[/B] [B]Your Triglyceride level of 0.61 is NORMAL[/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=4][B]RATIOS:[/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][B]Your Total Cholesterol/HDL ratio is: 4.13 - (preferably under 5.0, ideally under 3.5) GOOD[/B] [B]Your HDL/LDL ratio is: 0.339 - (preferably over 0.3, ideally over 0.4) GOOD[/B] [B]Your triglycerides/HDL ratio is: 0.381 - (preferably under 1.74, ideally under 0.87) IDEAL[/B][/SIZE] So according to the calculator my cholesterol ratios are good but my total values are not. What do you think about those results. I must say that I am addicted to eggs and I eat atleast 10 of them per day. Is it possible that eating so many eggs rises my cholesterol. Last time my cholesterol was somewhere around 5.5 . I want to lower my blood sugar to 83 wich dr Bernstein says is a truly normal level but so far my blood sugar stays near the same even eating low carb. [/QUOTE]
