Became interested in pre-diabetes because of my Cardiovascular Disease (CAD). Over the last 20 years, my Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) score has increased from 35 to over 1900. About 18 months ago, I started a LCHF diet and have lost 67 pounds- decreasing my BMI from 33 to 24. Weight has been stable for 4 months and have been focusing on keeping my Blood Glucose average at 90 mg/dL or lower. My average is computed using the FreeStyle Libre (FSL) app and is calculated on a 24/7 basis. I have used the FSL app/14 day sensor for more than one year.
HbA1c improved from 5.6 to 5.2; OGTT improved significantly also; HOMA 2 improved from 2.44 to 1.16. Just submitted my Kraft Insulin survey samples a few days ago.
 
Welcome. Well done on your achievements towards health.
I’d be interested to know what effect keto has had on your cac scores

No CAC scoring has been performed since initiation of my LCHF diet so no effect can be ascertained. Maybe early next year will bring a new scoring. Also, I'm not keto, only LC- average is 55 gm carb/day, 15% of calories. Thanks for your interest.
