[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2088466, member: 365308"] If your concern is heart disease could you instead request a calcium scan? What you are doing now in keeping your blood glucose so low is stopping the damage to your arteries so you are right to be proud of that achievement, but understand how you feel with the conventional advice being to always take a statin if diabetic with high hdl (and Apo B to boot). A c scan is reputed to be much more predictive of heart disease than ldl. See Dave Feldman as suggested or Ivor Cummins or Dr Jefrrey Gerber (a lchf doctor who describes interesting case studies and the different tests he has used in real life. The former 2 are engineers and the latter is a clinician but all are biased towards LCHF. It may be that you've confounded your lipidologist's expectations of a diabetic patient having reversed your diabetes and having high hdl but low rigs/high hdl but I suppose he may be of use if he gains you access to the calcium scan or particle analysis tests to determine the nature of your ldl!
