Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) is the primary protein found on "bad" cholesterol particles—specifically LDL, VLDL, and IDL—that transport fat through the bloodstream. Because each harmful particle contains exactly one ApoB molecule, an ApoB blood test directly measures the total number of these...

With CVD linked with Type2 and me being Type2 for quite a while now, I've been eating low carb which includes red meat and saturated fat. My believe is red meat and "good' saturated fat are fine for your heart. Lately I have listened to and read articles claiming saturated fat and red meat can...

Is anyone one eating meat (red included) and sturated fats to keep thier glucose at good levels and had thier ApoB tested? If so can you give your results ?

Has anyone done a gallbladder flush? Did you notice any changes in your A1C or morning glucose readings?

Hoping the endo will be able to give me good answers to questions I have. thanks

Looking just at the Type 2/IR. I came across some videos/articles (which I can't seem to find right now) in these video/articles I was sure it was mentioned that that the pancreas can be producing enough insulin but it may be the insulin that is flawed and the target cells are okay in some...

Finally getting to see an endocrinologist to see me in August. I would be interested in you views/opinions with my question below that I'll be asking the endocrinologist The Cpetide test shows you are producing enough insulin. Insulin is given to you and your blood levels go down, would this...

13 years ago and a bit my family Dr. wanted to put me on statins when I was diagnosed with T2/IR. His reasoning was, if I wasn't diabetic my cholesterol would be okay and the statin would help, ( now know how much **** that was). I decided not to take the statin. After a year and a half LCHF...

You may want to listen to this guy on You Tube. He talks about how ACV helped him. AC 1st video AC 2nd video

I found this one works for me. It's a crepe of sort. 2 eggs , 1 TBSP heavy cream, 1 TBSP flour(optional, I find the flour helps the texture), Sweetener of choice(I'll use a couple drops of Stevia or tsp of swerve icing sugar), 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp baking powder. For the...

You may have to trial & error with your food for both what you like and what works for you. Lots of stuff on You Tube but be careful some posters are just trying for views for money(IMO). Fats for me have been crucial, they help keep the hunger at bay. I feel that if you just stick with...

Using a BG meter, I feel, would really help you here. Although I can't find it right now, there is a You Tube video that provides a study about how people feel they have low BG and so it makes them think they need to eat. The study showed how this wasn't actually the case, it was a pretty high...

To me, the meals you mentioned aren't HFLC. Canned soup, oatmeal, most gravys, and potatoes wouldn't be low carb. The method I use and is working for me, because I like to keep it simple, I eat all meats, and green veggies and use good fats with the veggies. For example I eat breakfast and...

I too have high anxiety and have learned how to manage it. The first thing is to own the situation, confront it, when you do that you'll realize it's not as bad as you first thought. For me, once I owned the fact that I had Type2 and educated myself (lots of research) more about it, the anxiety...

Finally got a C-PEPTIDE test, but I still have questions. After about a 5 hour fast my C-PEPTIDE test results were .76 nmol/L. In discussion with my family Dr. my insulin levels are still good per these test results. What if I had a 12 hour fast instead of the 5 hour fast would the C-Peptide...
