High cholesterol
I was on statins for years as I had a bad family history. Came off then in may and just had my blood checked. My cholesterol was 6 and hdl was 1.3. I'm post menopausal. My blood pressure is normal. My Gp said this result was ok. Should I be starting back the statins?

RELUCTANT TO TAKE STATINS
Hello everyone, Two years ago I was diagnosed with erosive RA. I was a competitive elite endurance athlete most of my life. I've never smoked and was never overweight and my diet was always really clean. My first Rheumatologist two years gave these blood results to me and never mentioned the need

On road to recovery
Hello, After almost 9 months I've been able to bring my post-prandial blood sugar level down to 124. By following LCHF diet as recommended here. Thankyou so much. My fasting though still remains high at 116. It was suggested to try ashwagandha at bedtime... I'm trying that now. Any more suggestions

Low carb high fat diet effect on cholesterol
I have spent the last 10 weeks on a low carb high fat (LCHF) diet. Blood results before (in brackets) and after: Triglycerides 1.8 (3.1) LDL 2.2 (6.2) HDL 7.1 (1.7) Total cholesterol 9.3 (7.9) Total/HDL ratio 1.3 (4.6) As you can see, just 10 weeks on this diet and my blood lipids have improved enormously

Dear All greetings. I read about LCHF diet in this forum in previous posts that it is very good for diebitic patients. My question is if the person is having high blood pressure also along with diabetes then also is it good or not? Cos I read in another post that hypertension person should have low fat
