[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2280465, member: 401801"] He probably thinks your HbA1c is that "low" ("Beautiful", "fantastic" and "great progress" would be better words!) because you're having hypo's left and right, bringing the average down. I don't know if you are, as glic can cause hypo's especially when combined with low carb, but honestly? Adding in more carbs?! How about cutting the gliclazide!? If you don't indulge in snacks and all, you probably can do perfectly fine without it and remain in the prediabetic/non-diabetic range. Really... Sometimes you have to wonder whether they cut their degrees out of the newspaper or something. (Just don't cut it without the GP knowing and consenting. And you'd have to keep the low carb up or get back to where you started.) As for the cholesterol, that going up is quite normal. And not exactly something to worry about. ([URL]https://carnivoreaurelius.com/cholesterol-on-carnivore-diet/[/URL] <-- this covers the carnivore diet, which is practically zero carb, but the cholesterol bit applies. Also, if you're melting fat off your liver, cholesterol goes up too, as it is on it's way out.). [/QUOTE]
