[QUOTE="jpen, post: 1953968, member: 493140"] Yes my use of the term 'white' carbs was a bit of a short cut I guess. Its how I try to explain to my family what I do and don't eat. So the diet I'm on is no flour, rice, oats and most other grains, (so no bread wholemeal or otherwise :-) no pasta, pastry etc), no potatoes and limited root veg just the occasional carrot, no fruit apart from blueberries and absolutely no added 'sugar'. I don't actually count my carbs - but I'm guessing its fairly low. At this point I don't really want to go much further with that if I don't have to. And given that - as you say - I've managed reduced my blood sugars to non-diabetic levels - its just a real puzzle about what has happened with the lipid tests. I've also upped a HUGE amount of my oily fish, olive oil, avocado intake too - so HDL results are completely unexpected. Anyway.... onwards and upwards.... [/QUOTE]
