Hello:
My A1c few months ago was more than 7, due to travel etc (not an excuse though).
My TC was way high and my Triglyzerides was >214.
Then I followed LCHF with sincerity.
Of course initially for a week or so, I stuck to Metformin 500 mg twice a day per the DOCs advice.
Here are my numbers. I am happy to reproduce here.

This is mainly because of listening to the advice of several pundits of this site, of course with Pranaams and I owe a big one to Mr. Anup.
I dont know how to attach the picture of lab results. I tried.
If any one can help me, I will send the doc that I saved in word please.
I am willing to send the word doc to Admn if he wont mind.
I have 2 concerns.
Bun / Creatinine Ration is 9 (the range seems to be 10 - 22)
Sodium is 135 mmol (the range seems to be 136 to 144).
I do have an appointment with Endocronologist tomorrow.
May God bless all of us.
