Hi,
as the title suggests. Been on a low carb , relatively high fat diet since diagnosed last November. Bloods rarely above 7.0 now. Think I've cracked the diabetes ( type 2) I had to go into hospital Monday. Not on any medication and every test came back A+ except my cholosterol levels. last tested ( fasting ) Jan 16
HDL 1.12
LDL 5.1
TRI 3.8
level 8.0
Hdl ratio 7.1
Tested again Monday ( 3/5) - non fasting and levels EXACTLY the same.
so 2 questions.
1. on LCHF diet how long does it take for cholosterol levels to stabilise?
2. Should I be worried if the only thing abnormal is high cholosterol? I feel fantastic, exercise regularly, on no medication and drink very little alcohol. If anything I'm slightly underweight despite eating lots of fat !!
thanks
