PHYSICAL MEASUREMENTS
BMI .............................................. 36.3
Waist (inches) ............................. 48
Blood Pressure .......................... 140/86
BLOOD TESTS
HbA1c ............................................ 9.5 ..... HIGH ... <5.7 % of total Hgb
Cholesterol, total ....................... 220 .... HIGH ... 100-199 mg/dL
Tryglycerides .............................. 180 .... HIGH ... 0-149 mg/dL
HDL Cholesterol ......................... 54 .................... >39 mg/dL
VLDL Cholesterol (Calc) ............ 36 .................... 5-40 mg/dL
LDL Cholesterol (Calc) .............. 130 .... HIGH ... 0-99 mg/dL
Homocysteine ............................. 10.4 ... HIGH ... <10.4 umol/L
C-reactive protein (Quant) ....... 2.6 ................... 0.0-4.9 mg/L
I would really appreciate any and all thoughts, suggestions, insights. This is the first time I have been above "pre-diabetes" and know it is due especially to a couple trips late 2017 where I lived on Mountain Dew and fast food. I am determined to turn that around immediately (like maybe VLCHF diet). Also get the supplements right and for sure keep up the exercise. I lost 3 pounds in January in spite of adding 3-4 tablespoons of good fats, increasing eggs and avocados. Not in ketosis yet, but close to 18 hours IF, no snacks and, best of all, low carb with no added sugar.
Help, please.

Mod question: should I have posted this on my supplements thread?
