[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2080136, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]When I first quit sugar, went moderate carb, and walked a lot in the months post diagnosis, and lost a huge amount of weight (about 20-30kg), and was having frequent blood lipid tests - my triglycerides were so high they couldn't measure my LDL cholesterol, apparently. But when I looked up my blood lipid records right now the trigs were still 'only' around 7.0 - I cannot begin to get my head around a 44.0. (Could that really be correct?) But, if you are losing a lot of weight, ie - fat that has been stored in your cells - it comes out in your bloodstream, and you have a 'blip' high trig reading. As for the rest of the blood lipids - I have very definite super-messed up lipids as part of my diabetes, and am not one of those folks that get beautiful blood lipid readings once they get normal weighted, fit and eat healthily. But a reading like that - no wonder they called you in a panic! I still can't help but think they mainly called you to get you to have another blood test? To double check that reading. If that figure comes up again, I guess you will be on the path of seeing specialists and getting more involved tests at hospital? Keep us posted on this for sure.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
