News just in - hba1c after 8 weeks

Mind have gone 52 on going lchf then back to 69 on stopping lchf. Then 59 on low carb medium fat then 53 on low carb, low fat.
53 on low carb, low fat with weight loss.
 

If you look at my previous post you can compare your results to the recommended ones and see that your trigs and ratios aren't good. If you eat the foods that are on that list I gave you have a good chance of improving them. More exercise will also help. Carbohydrates are known to LOWER Hdl, which is the good cholesterol, and yours is only just within standard. Cutting carbs will help with this.

You should see your total cholesterol and it is then broken down to HDL and non high HDL

Hi again. I have found
serum cholesterol level 5.9
Trigs 2.6
Hdl 1.1

How bad is this and would you turn down statin if they told you to have it.

Trigs is slightly high 1.7 or below is recommended hdl is ok but could be better (higher)
 
It's just a picture that I really liked. I do however have a kitten in the house right now that totally does that. My son calls it his fierce look.
 
Way to go - my journey was similar. HbA1 and cholesterol lower end of (below) normal range after 12 weeks low carb and been off any medication for a year now. If you cut the carbs your body will sort itself out I found. Drs still don't seem to understand this! Carry on the good fight!

Hi grante.
Have read a few of your posts and find you inspiring. I am 5ft 9 inch and weigh 13stone ( 14.1stone when first diagnosed) so would you say these cholesterol figures are terrible or as the doctor said a bit off.

Cheers
Phil

Thanks Philb69. I believe that the figures are slightly off and will rectify with the continued change in eating ( I don't like the word diet) a d weight loss
