[QUOTE="Chez31, post: 1899885, member: 469976"] Well, I'm back after talking to my GP. As suspected my lipid levels are running amok. Total cholesterol is increased from 7.1 in Feb to 8.8 . LDL 5.4, HDL 3, triglycerides 0.9. I'm now over the NICE guidelines threshold for referral to lipid specialist to investigate possible familial hypercholesterolaemia ( I have significant heart disease history in maternal side of my family) Joy of Joys, yet another nasty life threatening condition hanging over me !!!!! Atorvastatin prescribed . I discussed statins reputation for causing diabetes in those at risk but she felt it was going to be about balancing risks and I would have to work that one through with the specialist. Usual advice for FH is to eat " healthy" and cut down on sat fats. That could be tricky on low carb and could make my food choices pretty restricted. Very confused now as towhat is a healthy diet for me. [/QUOTE]
