Hubby and I started 27 July. Feeling better than we have in years. Yesterday morning I had bacon and scrambled eggs, did our regular hike in local park, worked outside in garden for a few hours, and wasn’t even hungry again until about 3:30 or so. He has an appointment with his endo this week. Can’t wait to see how his labs have improved. :)
Do understand some blood values can temporarily increase before staying permanently lower. LDL will likely go up, but so will HDL, while triglyceride will plummet to much lower values.
There is a difference between LDL and VLDL, which normal tests don’t show. They behave differently in our bodies.
This gives an idea of what VLDL and LDL carry, in normal percentages for people:

You will note LDL for Joe Blow has as its content 25% protein. This, coupled with the small percentage of fat it carries, could explain why LDL creeps up for awhile.
