[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2481751, member: 493719"] With the idea of differing routes i am reminded of my actual blood scores. Pre DX i was one of those who just took the doctors word all was ok I'm now very much less so. and in doing so and delving onto the bigger details of what those scores all meant for my health. never did the ball/hole/maze games analogy seem more apt. i tended to see it as a spectrum we are all on it to some degree. And each change altered one or all of the others ratios no matter how slightly, but it did alter them regardless. The trick is to set in mind a reasonable goal. one dictated by many things.. * Acceptance we have an illness/disease personal discipline and * How much discomfort / risk we personally are willing to take/accept. Plus many more besides. In an ideal world I'd love all my bloods to be at the optimum ratios. will it ever, ....unlikely due to the above and the aging process/daily stress/ yadda yadda yadda. so i personally set sail to get from high risk. .(across the board for me, sadly) to anything better as i also did with the lchf v T2D. so i could aim for anywhere on the scale from POOR <------------------->OPTIMUM Poor was a No-No. And Optimum all across the board would be hard if not impossible, though a valid aim. so while bloods was dictated as: Chol/Hdl/Ldl/Trigs/etc T2D was dictated as HBA1c/Weight/Satisfaction. so a decent HBA1c, with LCHF for me, and a weight loss, all seemed possible after an initial trial. HBA1c AND regular bloods all began coming back better and more normal/optimal [ATTACH=full]53118[/ATTACH] we all pick our sliding scales as outlined above, and where we believe we can personally live. it's all about hazard perception and what level of discipline we can accept that make the difference between one "Happy but maybe not the best score possible" and one "Unhappy but great score" Wherein lays the juggle to make it fit, 'better', imho final pointer for me was mid 2019, i had great weight loss, great hba1c. I felt ok, but i thought i looked terrible. Those who hadn't seen me in a long time thought I was seriously Sick some weight back on, i look better (i think) fewer asking if i have cancer (how rude :banghead:) And an FBG pointing to decent control returning after two /3 major medical lay ups. you pays ya money you takes your choice .
