There's conversions to mg/dL he

This doesn't work for everything else because the factor for conversion
depends on the molecular weight of what they're measuring; it works for
glucose only. So you might get more help in the UK diabetes newsgroup
where they'll be more familiar with the scales.

WRT to the glucose, 6.5 is a good number if it's an hour or two after a
meal, but not so great if it's a fasting number.

According to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists,
treating diabetes is successful if you keep the fasting number under 110
(6.1 in your units).

That's what they want to see in *diabetics,* more normal numbers for
nondiabetics fasting would be lower still, usually 80-90 (4.4-5.0 in
your units).


Creatine 80 umol 1/1 (60 - 110)
Bilirubin 7 umol 1/1 (0-22)
ALT h 37 IU/1 (1-31)
A.Phos 108 IU/1 (35 -135)
F. Cholesterol h 6.2 mmol1/1 (0.0 - 5.0)
F.Triglyceride 2.11 mmol1/1 (0.0 - 2.15)
F.HDL Chol. 1.33 mmol1/1 (0.90 - 1.80)
LDL (calculated) h 3.9 mmol1/1 (0.0 - 3.0)
cho/HDL Ratio 4.7 (1 - 5)

Now would someone please tell me what they mean)

ALT is out of range which might indicate some sort of liver issue. If
it were me, I'd try adding silymarin (milk thistle) to my supplements
until my next workup.

Total cholesterol is high too. If you're concerned, or your doctor is
pushing for drugs, I'd ask for a lipoprotein analysis first to find out
if there's really a problem before they begin treating it.

The LDL is high, but you can't tell how accurate it is since it's a
calculated value, which are notoriously inaccurate. If it was me, I'd
ask for a direct measurement if the lipoprotein analysis weren't
forthcoming.

How long have you been low-carbing? Improvement can take up to a year.
