Hi @Diawara,

Congrats on these absolutely brilliant results. Very much deserved -- if I may say so.

As to your lipids -- if I had to guess I would think that 1.75 would be HDL and 3.1 would be LDL -- and these results would sound absolutely normal to me. (Out of curiosity, I entered these numbers into the cholesterol calculator https://www.hughcalc.org/chol-si.php and based on this all your ratios would be optimal).

thanks for that @ziggy_w doctor agreed the figures were good ..i rubbed it in a bit that the diabetic nurse on diagnosis.said i would be on metformin for life and probably moving to insulin in the future...... pah! havent been on anything after ten weeks and about 40 kilos down since september three years ago!..
