[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 1847907, member: 256617"] A low carb state is a much better position to assist cancer remission, as cancers love higher insulin and glucose. Your trigs at 1 are good, but indicate perhaps a higher carb amount that is optimum for you (mine are almost half that, but this could be an individual thing). Again by todays standards 26% body fat is good, but you may need to be closer to 15 to clear your liver if this is fatty. As your BMI is so low, in your shoes I would bias towards resistance training to metabolise some of the 26% fat to lean tissue (your BMI would increase, but lean mass is healthier than fat so no issue). I did a A1CNow+ test today and got a 5.2% and 4.9% (and similar on around 8 other tests this year), yet my official HbA1c is 5.6%. On my Accu-Chek Mobile, my 90 day combined average is 4.3 with 116 measurements. For the last 2 weeks I have a Freestyle Libre with the following: [ATTACH=full]27818[/ATTACH] I have a meeting with my DR try to understand why all of my units indicate a lower HbA1c and how could the Libre results be 16% better than last year (and consistent 90 day results on 4 different manufacturer glucometers registered 4.3 / 4.4 averages) be wrong). I am not that bothered, as my meters have shown lower numbers pre and post meals, I am leaner and fitter, but as a techy this is a niggle. Anyway these may assist you on cholesterol: [MEDIA=youtube]2w3s2SA6_cc[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]hj7ldyKQnRA[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]NUY_SDhxf4k[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
