I have just received my latest blood results 2 years since diagnosis.
diagnosis 1 yr 2 yr
A1c 76 38 35
wt 102 71 76
BMI 28.5 19.7 21.1
Chol 6.1 5.9 6.7
HDL 1.09 1.78 1.84
Trig 2.7 .7 .9
Chol/HDL 5.6 3.3 3.6
I see the dr in 2 days and I see he wants to discuss the cholestrol result.
The only change I have made in the last year is to up the fat intake in order to arrest weight loss.I have achieved this with coconut oil and cream in coffee, and cream in tea and am happy with the result so far.I have also gone to two meals a day with a daily 16 to 20 hour fast.
I have not been on any medication since diagnosis.
I am happy with the A1c results,although they aren't as low as my self testing would indicate.I am also happy with my weight gain while reducing A1c..At 71 kgs I was concerned about arresting the weight loss.
I'm afraid the dr will recommend statons but I am planning on refusing if he does. Instead will cut back or illiminate the coconut oil and cream.
I am concerned that my lipids are moving in the wrong direction.Should I ?
Bearing in mind my weight seemed to be heading to the too low area,should I be prioritising weight or lipids?
I will suggest more regular testing in order ton better monitor progress as I am still making changes to my approach/diet.I was tested twice within 4 months after diagnosis but annually after that.A1c at 4 months was 38
