Hi Phoenix55 I havent been testing recently, but i did a fairly intense few months while dieting,where i was able to rule out lots of food items that were not for me. Then not long ago i did a stint with the Freestyle Libre which was very educational and i am going to give it another turn. But i have not tested much since i started the Dark chocolate,mostly when i get up in the morning and if i am testing a new meal. My A1C is up 2 points on last time so there might be something going on. I will test tomorrow when i am at home.Others will be along who know more about the ratios of LDL and HDL than me. Just want to ask are you testing 2 hours after eating to see how what eat is affecting your bg levels? You may find that the creep of 'treats' has started a rise in bg. I find that the prospect of testing more times every day makes me keep to 3 meals.
My A1C is 37 so up 2 points not too bad.
My Lipid panel in April was
Cholestrol 5.5
HDL 4.1
LDL 1.28
TriG's 1.01
HDL to TriG ratio: .246
Food for thought:(Diabetes 2 and heart attack)
After heart attack I avoid saturated fat.Practically, my only fats are nuts.
In a word, low carb diet does not mean we are allowed to eat fatty food.
Hi Brunneria,the first set of figures i.e my last A1C of four months ago were written on a piece of paper by my GP and handed to me. I'm pretty sure that those are the figures that he read out to me from his PC screen. I will certainly ring and check those figures again. The second set of results i.e my A1C of a couple of weeks ago were printed from his PC as he reviewed them. So they are definitely the results that were emailed to him. But i will chat to him asap and let you know.Any chance you have got the numbers I have marked in red the wrong way round?
LDL is usually higher than HDL, as is shown by your second set of numbers.
Thanks!
Hi and yes i will make it a priority and i will post my findings. How bad are the second set of results? They were printed from my GP's computer just after he received them.@morpheus , it's a bit odd to invert those completely. Were you given your results over the phone, orr did you view then online in your medical record?
Either way, I'd want then checked (phone again, or ask that whoever input them hadn't made an error). If that fairls, I'd ask for anotherreferendumtest.
Well done maintaining the HbA1c though.
Hi thank you for your reply. There seems to be a swing towards fatty foods as in cheese cream, bacon, rashers etc idicating that LCHF is the way to go so i am experimenting.(Diabetes 2 and heart attack)

The fact your HDL has risen is excellent.
The change in LDL is insignificant.
And the rise in Trigs is irrelevent.
Great outcome, I would say! (But I’m not a medical professional)
Also i have just noticed that on the Biochemistry Tests sheet that iwas given it shows my LDL as 'LDL Calculated' what does that mean?
My understanding is that the lower the carbs the higher the fat can go. It is important to remember that high fat + high carbs is a recipe for disaster. Jenny Ruhl mentions that some people come unstuck because they try LCHF but after a while raise their carb intake and forget to lower the fat to match.Hi thank you for your reply.
