My A1c today stayed right at 6.0, which doc is happy with, but I am not.
Even before the results came back, I had told him I wanted to go lower, so he won't be surprised that I continue to pursue the elusive 5%.
The lipids profile looks better to me, but he has already suggested statins again, so I think he didn't compare today's numbers with my tests from last May.
Total cholesterol stayed essentially the same: 219 in May and 220 now.
Triglycerides dropped from 308 to 212.
HDL dropped from 45 to 43
LDL rose from 112 to 135, and I have now suggested to doc that large fluffy particles are common with a low-carb way-of-eating, so perhaps mine are large & fluffy and no cause for alarm. We will see - this is not over yet!
