| Low carbing and cholesterol results
FYI . . . . My A1c went from 8 to 6.1 with low carbing . . . . . .
BUT, I got a major shock yesterday. My last cholesterol test about 4 months ago was a total of 141 (HDL 59, LDL 69); yesterday I found out my current total is 274. (Kidney function did not change. They call it "stable".) They did not tell me what triglycerides were . . . it was 66 last time (supposed to be under 150). Before this, I've never had a total cholesterol over 170.
HDL should be 50 or higher -- mine is 92 (was 59)
LDL should be, well they said 130 or less (even better under 100) and mine is 170 (was 69)
The comment from the nurse was, better start taking your Zocor (I had quit). Before the 141 total cholesterol, I had only sporadically been taking the Zocor.
Help! I also requested the VAP test (further breakdown of cholesterol) and haven't gotten those results . . . I need to call again.
