[QUOTE="DeejayR, post: 970494, member: 126679"] My six-month blood test results are back and I'm chuffed to be relegated to prediabetic again at 46. I expected to be pegged at 48 since my home testing seemed to show a gentle upward trend, although the lows and highs are getting closer together. So to have dropped a couple of points is great and thank you all for your support and advice. So onward and upward (or downward?) with LCHF and perhaps a little more attention to exactly how many carbs I eat of a day. My cholesterol experiment has had mixed fortunes, after I stopped statins six months ago at a level of 5.1. The non-fasting (random) test revealed: Total cholesterol 7.0 HDL 2.18 Non-HDL 4.82 TC/HDL 3.2 Non-HDL has replaced LDL and without that I don't know how to calculate the trigs. Needless to say I've been summoned to the headmaster's study, sorry, GP's surgery on Monday no doubt to be told to get back on the little oval pills. I'm still inclined before doing that to ask for a fasting test to see if it's any different. Also I would like a proper interpretation of those figures, if someone can please oblige. They're such a mixture. [/QUOTE]
