Low fat and lots of carbs, fruit etc.Following diagnosis, I have moved to high fat, low carb, so surely my lipids and trigs will have deteriorated and hence indicate that my CVD risk has shot up???In reality, my cholesterol shows LDL has decreased, HDL has increased and Trigs have been decimated from 7.7 to 0.9.So what's going on here. Am I at higher risk due to much higher fat intake, or as my results show, am I at much lower risk.I am not trying to be clever - I would really like a logical answer??.All the best Steve.</blockquote>
