[QUOTE="Tabbyjoolz, post: 1315383, member: 326717"] Had a very interesting chat with my favourite doc this morning re my Hba1C results, blood pressure and my recent bout of appendicitis. It seems that my Hba1C and other blood tests that I had taken on the morning of the day I was diagnosed with appendicitis were unaffected by the appendicitis itself. My blood pressure is in a good range, the doctor was thrilled at my Hba1c and said "keep doing whatever it is you're doing, these results are amazing!" When he asked me what I was doing I came clean with him - LCHF - and he didn't bat an eyelid. "Well, carry on with it then, and make sure you get your feet and eyes checked." He did again try to persuade me to take statins as my cholesterol is "high". I again refused politely (he accepted my refusal), and asked what my cholesterol had been in August. Turns out my most recent reading is down slightly. He did say that continuing with LCHF might help it fall further, but admitted that he did not want to say this outright. [/QUOTE]
