[QUOTE="TriciaWs, post: 2089315, member: 475901"] I had my one year tests this week and have just seen the results after missing a call from the surgery yesterday. I'm assuming it will be the Statins discussion again, which I refused last time and at 3 months into low carb the figures had improved so it was dropped. I've been low carb for just over a year, since diagnosis and my blood glucose results have been good for nearly a year as they dropped very quickly. My HbA1c is 33, and I've lost over 5 st (although still lots to go) but the loss is less than half kilo a week now. In March everything was OK, but my overall Cholesterol and LDL have both risen since. (March figures in brackets) Serum HDL cholesterol level 1.82 (1.72) Serum triglyceride levels 1.2 (1.64) Serum cholesterol/HDL ratio 3.3 (2.7) Serum non high density lipoprotein cholesterol level 4.18 (2.18) Serum LDL cholesterol level 3.6 (2.1) Serum cholesterol level 6 (4.6) Do others have similar figures and do you take statins?
