[QUOTE="ROSIE1988, post: 1816461, member: 470278"] thanks again I have just been reading the above links and was trying to work out the Cholesterol to HDL conversion as per the chart but on looking at my Hubbys Medical Record is showing the following: Serum Cholesterol Serum HDL Cholesterol Level Serum Cholesterol/HDL Ratio Se non HDL Cholesterol Lever This has totally confused me..... The calculator is asking for: TOTAL CHOLESTEROL TO HDL So - which numbers do I need to focus on and enter please? Also, have been seeing things saying to take Vitamin D Supplements - why is this? My Chemist also recommends Chromium - why? Have been trying to get my head round all the insulin/blood glucose information and I think I am right in saying we cannot check the insulin levels ourselves - without a doctor - and they don't/wont do that - and we have to rely on blood glucose testing - but I still think we are looking at the wrong thing as Dr Fung, (and others are starting to say), says focusing on bringing that number down just masks the high insulin problem…..sorry for going on but its all very confusing in places..... He says its all very well bringing the number down and this no doubt impresses the doctors and patients but if the insulin levels are not down/controlled then to me blood glucose and testing with the finger prick seems a waste of time....? Which then makes Metformin useless etc etc? Sorry to ramble, but my head is full of questions - thank goodness for this site though ! Thank you for all your help. :) xx [/QUOTE]
