Wordy but positive message (I think!)

Conclusion: Consumption of a very low carbohydrate diet with nutritional ketosis for 2 years in patients with type 2 diabetes lowered levels of small LDL particles that are commonly increased in diabetic dyslipidemia and are a marker for heightened CVD risk. A corresponding increase in concentrations of larger LDL particles was responsible for higher levels of plasma LDL-C. The lack of increase in total LDL particles, ApoB, and in progression of CIMT, provide supporting evidence that this dietary intervention did not adversely affect risk of CVD.

Yeah, there are 13 pages for the adventurous inclined who want to take a walk on the wild side and read the whole thing.

A definite one in the eye for the "keto's gonna kill your heart" brigade.
