Backstory: Diagnosed end of November 2014 with A1C= 11%
Followed ADA guidelines until March 2015, when I found this website.
Adopted the LCHF lifestyle in April 2015.
Weight lost since November = 43 lbs
And the results...<drumroll>
A1C= 5.6%
Cholesterol (norm <200) = 112 mg/dl
Triglycerides (norm <150) = 55 mg/dl
HDL = (norm >39) = 44 mg/dl
LDL Calculated (norm <100) = 57 mg/dl
Non HDL Chol (LDL = VLDL) (norm <130) = 68
Chol/HDL Ratio (norm <4.4) = 2.5
I am thrilled...and even a little teary-eyed.
My next goals are:
1) Reduce my A1C even more
2) Increase my HDL
Thank you to all of you who have pointed me in the right direction, answered my endless questions, and even listened to me whine a little about my slow progress. I am so thankful for your patience and expertise.
