Read about lean mass hyper responders LMHR that will explain my high cholesterol. I eat fewer than 30 carbs mainly from vegetables.

Everyone is different and if something works for you then it works. I don't take insulin, so i am not in a position to even understand how hard it might be to keep a balance.

here comes what Dr. Bernstein says "the law of small numbers". For T1, its very difficult to match your blood glucose peak and your injected insulin peak for several factors, including gastroparesis. The higher the carb quantity is, the harder to get these two curves match. That is why keeping...

Yes, in UK, its about 9 something in mmol. As I said i am an LMHR. Check Dave Feldman if you don't know LMHR already. When i went low carb initially my cholesterol went above 11. I managed to reduce it gradually, but my other markers have improved a lot, particularly the ratios.

That's a good approach Jim and that's where i am trying to reach to avoid regular testing. Despite my belief that cholesterol is not a CVD marker, I am still not comfortable having it north of 300. I am not trying it below recommended range either, so just trying to hold the stick in the middle...

Yes you are in those 75% lucky people :) I am an LMHR (lean mass hyper responders) and particularly saturated fats take my cholesterol to very high levels, particularly dairy liquid fats.

Being a diabetic, you can't eat a lot of carbs. A lot of fat will eventually raise your cholesterol levels (regardless of whether its good or bad). So my question is how you take your daily calories intake? Is there a must daily calorie intake or its just an imaginary thing? I am controlling my...

This would clarify a few more things i believe ... https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fendo.2020.00378/full#B1

Yes, its well known that proteins do spike Insulin that is why in keto diet they don't recommend high proteins as it kicks them out of ketosis. Per Dr. Bernstein, 36% of protein converts to sugar.

Thanks updated with first and second phase.

This is a great read for anyone who needs to understand their diabetes and hyperglycaemia. It cleared several of my questions that I always wondered based on my experiments. In particular the affect of GLP and incretins over the stimulation of insulin secretion was an interesting read...

Hi Antje, the person lives in Pakistan. Now getting tests are much easier even in remote areas in Pakistan, finding an endocrinologist is not. Definitely, that was my advise to him as well. He is curious to know the difference and he has been reading, so I thought I will see what forum people...

Thank you both for your reply. He is not overweight at all and no central obesity either. He is not in UK and lives in a deprived area, so i am helping him out with few tests so then he can go out to a bigger city and do a proper consultation. Yes are not diagnosing but i am just trying to solve...

Thanks Urb, I am not sure if i mentioned or not, but he is not on any medications or insulin. The decrease in a1c is purely with the diet. I understand honeymoon period and this may be the case. No he didn't do any antibodies tested. So is it only GAD or something else he needs to test as well ...

I have a quick question about someone in the family who was diagnosed with diabetes. Here is the data and i am trying to make sense of it. Male, 28 years age A1c in Sept 2021: 13.3% After following low-carb and no meds, his stats are: a1c in January 2022: 6.6% fasting insulin: 4.5 (same time...

The time in range between 70-120 mg/dl was 87% in the same study FYI.

I did use Libre 2 CGM, but my a1c was quite off than the lab as well as using the finger pricks. My labs show around 30, whereas my Libre calculated it at 37 (but i was trying with high carb diet during that time as well). However, it still should not have gone to 37 I guess. Libre readings were...

Hi fellows, Here is my recent report on cholesterol readings and the A1c, which is stable at 30 for few months now. HDL has greatly improved over the recent months and TG has gone down, any comments, suggestions? I did decrease dairy fat intake in the last 4 months and my LDL has gone somehow...

This has just come out last year and sounds very interesting. As it seems, regardless of one being diabetic or non-diabetic the safest BG range seems to be between 70-110 mg/dl. This reminds me again of Dr. Richard K. Bernstein, who survived type-1 diabetes now for over 75 years and still very...

Im confused, i guess that is what he is saying, low-carb reduces the inflammation or sugar/metabolic disorder increases it.
