[QUOTE="lindisfel, post: 1883189, member: 57698"] Ivor Cummings was talking recently about the predictors of CVD. If one is in their mid fifties, a CAC is a good indicator of advancing heart disease and the need to take action by a low carb diet. A T2 Needs to know their insulin profile because high insulin can be a seventimes predictor of CVD, unlike LDL, where they are not sure if it's a predictor at all! However statins do reduce inflammation and stabilise plaques. It is scandalous in the UK that people are not checked for their insulin profile before the damage is done. When asked most doctors think you have got it all wrong. There is no money in the system and most would have to pay to have it done. I know one very thin T2 and the doctor will not test her for c peptide. But even if you are T1 and certainly T2, it is best not to have a lot of insulin floating round one's body inflaming one's arteries that then need cholesterol to repair them. Some think cholesterol in plaques in artery walls is part of the repair job for high insulin and high blood glucose damage. Obviously with T2s high insulin comes years before the pancreas cannot control the bodies glucose. Some T1s are getting excellent hba1c s with keto diets. regards Derek [/QUOTE]
