I and my husband have very recently started on a low carb diet. He is a type 2 diabetic on insulin. His levels of insulin were getting way too high. So we have started the LC to get them down and after just 3 weeks his insulin has reduced by 2/3's so that is great. However I have some heart problems (had a blocked artery and very high colestorol) so I am afraid too eat too much fat. Therefore the LC may not work so well for me. (I have lost a stone). Are there any members that have similar illness and can tell me if I am right or not to keep the fat level as low as I can? I do plan on visiting the doctor but I haven't got an appointment as yet.
