Yesterday I received my best numbers yet from my blood work but I had some interesting talking points with the doctor that I would like the boards opinion on. First I want to thank many people on this board who got me to change the way I eat a year ago and I started on the 16 hour fasting everyday. I also from my own research added an egg a day to my diet. My weight went from 198 to 182.

Some background on me is I am a 54 year old male who has been pre-diabetic since I can remember checking it. Have been on Vascepa for over two years. I am a healthy eater for the most part. Usually I would exercise at least three times a week but I have been slipping this winter on that.

The starting numbers came from my old way of eating but being on Vascepa.

First the good:
My total Cholesterol went from 206 to 171 (yeah no statin)
Trigs from 127 to 90
A1C from 6.1 to 5.6 (which took me out of pre-diabetic range for the first time ever).
Everything else was good.

The not so good:
But my HDL-C went from 36 to 29 which was a bit alarming.


Doctor who is a general practitioner stated two interesting things of which I would like the boards opinion on:

Her opinion was that LDL-C was mostly hereditary and I could only affect it by 20% at most with my diet.

My HDL-C could no be affected by my diet but only affected by exercise.
