[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2585088, member: 150927"] Hi [USER=516304]@saky[/USER]! Ah! There you are. Or - there we are. Not me re low body weight at diagnosis - far from it. But it did not take much belly weight and a bit of plumping padding in my 20s for me to have PCOS and subfertility. (That subfertility didn't really hit me till I was in my 30s and trying for a second child, so I guess it can take a while, but, I certainly had multiple cysts on my ovaries when only a bit plumper than lean in my 20s. Darn it.) Anyway - the lipids. Yeah, so, we aren't the hyper-responders they are referring to, as we didn't have normal LDL prior to low carbing/high fatting, which then massively elevates on eating more fats. We are, according to my understanding, 'merely' lipid dysregulated, or with 'dyslipidemia. So our signaling is up the wonk, to use a good expression, due to the T2D. Is my understanding at least. But yes, presenting with that pattern (high LDL, healthy high HDL. healthy low trigycerides on a low-carb diet and having physical fitness) apparently is rare as well, according to Ken Berry and co on that youtube. I was surprised by that. I did have a doc, since retired, who did talk about my dyslipidemia with me, but that my blood lipid results are rarely seen was never discussed, has never been discussed. But because my lipid[I] ratios [/I]are good, and my blood pressure is good, even with high total cholesterol, I don't have statins pushed on me. That was only at diagnosis, and I got fit and lost the weight pretty quickly. I am what is called an exercise super responder, which you might be too?
