I had my results from my blood tests today since I was diagnosed with T2 in March this year (HbA1c was 7.8)
Today my readings are
HbA1c - 5.4
Serum Cholesterol - 5
Triglycerides - 1.08
HDL - 1.42
LDL - 3
HDL ratio - 3.6
I feel really chuffed about my HbA1c but I have no idea about the lipids - are they good or bad? Although the DN explained them to me she didn't really say what my targets should be and whether they were OK or not.
Any thoughts?

Great HbA1c results - I have no idea what the other results are
 
Brilliant set of results. Many congratulations. :)

Cholesterol standards:
Total 3 to 4 for diabetics, 3 to 5 for everyone else
Trigs 0 to 1.7
HDL 1.2 to 3.5
LDL 0 to 2 for diabetics, 0 to 3 for others
TC/HDL ratio under 4.

Hi. Thanks for the information. If I stay on a VLCHF diet will that improve some if my cholesterol figures? J

If you conform to the majority of people that post results on here, yes. Mine certainly did, even though they were fairly normal to begin with, they improved. If you have a search round you will see the results others have had. In any event, yours are very good to begin with.
