HbA1c now at 44 (down from 68) after a year on LCHF (including 4 weeks holiday in Oz eating hotel and restaurant food daily)
Weight down by 1 stone and 11lbs
Waist down by 3" (I can now get past the car in the garage without folding the wing mirror in!)
Total cholesterol up by .6 to 7.4 (DN not impressed but I'm not too bothered) - all ratios much improved. Triglycerides down from 6.6 (!) to 2.2
Dropping Sitagliptin (against DN advice - she thinks HbA1c will go back up! - but negotiated a trial and repeat Hba1c in three months) Personally I don't think 25mg makes any difference whatsoever.
Will update my signature when next on PC and may have to adjust values above slightly as doing it from memory ... But you have the overall picture
