[QUOTE="poshtotty, post: 596069, member: 100221"] Thank you to everyone who has encouraged me during the past 4 months when I commenced LCHF. Today I had my 3 month review with the DN, who I have to say is absoutely lovely and unlike others here, I feel very fortunate. So todays results are..... Drumroll please.....:) Weight loss since October (before starting Metformin) 8kg Cholesterol: April: 5.3 July: 4.6 LDL : 2.2 HDL: 1.64 Trigs 1.7 HbA1c April: 63 July 59 Best news of all is that I have her approval to stay off statins, having negotiated myself a 4 month break while adjusting my diet. Only downside is that she won't increase my prescription for extra testing strips, saying she thinks I'm becoming obsessive with testing and need to reduce to twice daily. She did make a good suggestion though, which was to alternate testing times over several days, ie one fasting, and once after lunch, then the following day, once after breakfast, and once before bed etc. As I'm lucky to have 100 strips per month on prescription, so I'm not arguing with her and will continue to buy my own in between prescriptions. Thanks again everyone for all the support, encouragement and inspiration. I'm now with LCHF for life just off for a Starbucks Strawberries and Cream cooler to celebrate......!! NOT [/QUOTE]
