[QUOTE="Sirzy, post: 339931, member: 38017"] Hi everyone, I'm diet controlled and have been following a LC/HF diet since I was diagnosed around 18 months ago. It's been controlling my bg brilliantly, my last HbA1c was 5.1, and both myself and my diabetes consultant are pleased with that. BUT, I thought I'd ask for a lipid profile during my last appointment, just to see how it was doing since I switched to a LC/HF diet, and after reading so many posts on here about people who are able to eat a lot of fat and still have healthy lipid levels, I wasn't expecting a total value of 5.8, and was quite surprised that it was so high (I wasn't given a breakdown of HDL to LDL, but was told that the total value should be around 4.5 for a diabetic. I'm now following a low fat diet (still low carbing of course), and hoping to avoid the dreaded statins!! Has anyone else found that high fat doesn't work for them? I'm MIDD, so I'm wondering if this may have something to do with it. Cheers, Sarah :D [/QUOTE]
