[QUOTE="jpen, post: 1965641, member: 493140"] Hi - I've been meaning to get back to you, [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER] and others who responded to my post, to update about my follow-up lipid test. So new results - (after fasting properly!) - are Chol: 3.4 Trig: 1.1 (whoa!) HDL: 1.12 LDL: 1.8 Ratio: 3.0 So that makes much more sense to me and I'm happy with those results. Seems like that little bit of milk was likely the culprit! Also asked my Dr what he would need to see in terms of my results to take me off the metformin completely - and he agreed that if my Hba1c was still within the 'normal' range in 3 months he would take me off the metformin. I'm really sorry you had that experience with your doc. Just to give a wee bit of hope maybe - I sent my doc the link to Dr Unwins videos explaining the low carb approach to other GP's, and he said he was very interested in looking at them because "you are certainly a good advertisement for the treatment." :-) So that's all hopeful! Next suggestion to him will be prof Taylor - but I'll just take things slowly. ;-) I think we just have to carry on, doing what we know is best for ourselves, and challenging out of date attitudes when we can. Good luck with your journey. [/QUOTE]
