[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2309424, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]Hi [USER=528383]@SQ71[/USER]. Yes, dyslipidemia - when your blood lipids get dysregulated - is often a part of insulin resistance based type two. (Some pretty complex graphs and processes explain it!) I also have too high fasting blood glucose and high cholesterol. If your insulin resistance is particularly resistant to change for the better, this can be a sign, according to my understanding, that you have a particularly high number of sick fat cells, and it may just take longer for the higher number of sick fat cells to be replaced with healthier ones. The number of fat cells is forever, but not the state of them. I deal with my own T2D profile by low-carbing (of course!), and intermittent/fasting, and keeping as cardio-vascularly healthy as possible, by being as fit and as strong as possible. I bring up the HDL/trig ratio importance,and importance of having blood lipids done in a fasting state (for better comparison purposes), constantly, when being tested. I am currently deciding whether or not to go on a course of metformin to bring my fasting blood glucose down, and to see if it gives my dysfunctioning liver a hand in not creating and spurting out all that glucose of a morning. I chose not to take a statin, after first a cursory reading online as to the benefits and the side effects/downsides, and talking about it with my high-cholesteroled but long-lived father. Now I am, I believe, very well informed and have read a lot, and watched a lot of docos and youtubes to boot. This was a good idea as for many medical practitioners lowering our blood cholesterol is their first equal port of call, as is it is their guidelines to do so - and I do believe they sincerely believe they are saving our lives by it! The very best of intentions, for sure. But wrongminded? Imho - absolutely yes. [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
