You know Jan.. the first read through I thought your HDL was good (yes HDL is the good kind and higher is better).. I should have stuck with my gut (hah!) reaction

So a fantastic A1c, even better HDL and just a temporarily lousy LDL which as has been pointed out is offset by your high HDL. I also read that the ratio is important

When you say very high fat... like what?

I'm currently on a statin but I am trying the low carb approach (early days yet) but it sure would be great to drop one of my pills (and not have to get my son to search for it under the couch )
