I've always preferred butter not just for taste but for it being more natural than spreads...... I'd always thought it was one of the cholesterol raisers though, good to hear it isn't but my body told me to cut back on it again this morning, it usually let's me know. I've heard of triglycerides but not read up on them.Butter is good for you. It won't raise your cholesterol! Also fasting/non fasting only affects triglycerides.
I know my carbs are probably nowhere near as low as most. I do a rough check what's in my meals but don't tot up for the day. I go off the spike. Thanks againYour total cholesterol is fine. Your HDL could do with increasing a bit, which will lower the ratio. The ratio should ideally be under 4. No LDL or Trigs?
Low carb will (or should) help with these figures. Fats don't seem to make much difference at all in most people.
I certainly hope you do stay! Well done you!! Hope you are feeling proud!Bloods show am no longer in prediabetic range. Cholesterol up a bit so swap butter with toast for breakfast to porridge again for while..... HbA1c 39 woohoo......
Please can I stay guys?- couldn't have done it without you......
Thank youI was just typing well done on the hba1c when a friend turned up so well done.
If you can cope with porridge then yes, oats are good for cholesterol lowering - Some people do see elevated levels when they go LCHF but Id be more inclined to look at your carb intake first before tweaking the fats bit.
Thanks Kimbo, I shallI certainly hope you do stay! Well done you!! Hope you are feeling proud!
Same here....my last hba1c was 38, felt the same as you, haven't altered anything as still want another size down before next hba1c in April, though I am dropping the meds in about a week to go diet and exercise only....eek!!Thanks Kimbo, I shall. Bit shell shocked but chuffed to bits. So much so I forgot to ask what my previous HbA1c had been. Even my bp was ok.... Weight still a work in progress
Excellent results on the hba1c results. I am sure the cholesterol will come down also. So as you've been so good you can stayBloods show am no longer in prediabetic range. Cholesterol up a bit so swap butter with toast for breakfast to porridge again for while..... HbA1c 39 woohoo......

YOU are truly SUPER DIABETES WOMAN or WONDER GIRL what an inspiration in deed as well as word. You are sO kind, caring and supportive too. Do you know its been 2 months and two weeks since I was diagnosed. Should I get my 3 month Hba1c booked now or after 3 month ends.Bloods show am no longer in prediabetic range.

Aw, @alliebee, thanks so much. I shall stay, its lovely hereDon't you dare go. We would miss you too much!
I'm sure you will do wonderfully well. You are dedicated to our cause. Any blips will be your body adjusting to "going it alone" and out of your control. Going meds-free is a big achievement tooSame here....my last hba1c was 38, felt the same as you, haven't altered anything as still want another size down before next hba1c in April, though I am dropping the meds in about a week to go diet and exercise only....eek!!
