Good results with LCHF

[suryakaizen]

Some 3 months ago, when I had a debilitating viral fever, my health check up showed pre-diabetes. Doc asked me to start metformin, but in addition I continued with LCHF diet , though not strictly. Then I went for another check-up 2 days ago and the lab tests showed the following results (Sept. figures in brackets):

FBG: 147 mg/dl (185)

PPBS: 130 (152)

Total cholesterol: 137 (227)

HDL: 43 (46)

LDL: 98 (155)

Triglycerides: 127 (217)

HBA1C: 6.9 (8.3)

My weight, however has dropped by only 4 kgs since then and is now 99 kgs (I am 5’ 6” tall).

I feel good to be ending this year with good results coming from good efforts. Can metformin alone achieve all this?

Concerned, thank you for that frank analysis. I don’t know why the doc said it was pre-diabetes. I will try and reduce carbs further.

Ha ha ha! Anup, you always manage to be wryly humorous while dealing the truth. I like that!

Hi! Great to know you're trying to control. But don't just depend on medicine for that. Try LCHF diet. I did, and without taking any medicine came down from Hba1c of 16.4 to 6.3 in about 10 odd months. Just diet modification and increased activity did the trick. I lost about 11kgs in this period and haven't ever felt this fit ever. I can climb stairs... as many fights without feeling breathless at all! My blood reports were never this good! So go for it! All the best!😊

Thank you Vinn1. I need to get more strict with my diet now. I think I’ll be able to do what you have done!
