| [quote=Jan B;328494]FYI . . . . My A1c went from 8 to 6.1 with low carbing . . . . . .
BUT, I got a major shock yesterday. My last cholesterol test about 4 months ago was a total of 141 (HDL 59, LDL 69); yesterday I found out my current total is 274. (Kidney function did not change. They call it "stable".) They did not tell me what triglycerides were . . . it was 66 last time (supposed to be under 150). Before this, I've never had a total cholesterol over 170.

Just another opinion here...but I'd get back on Zocor. Real research says your diet contributes ONLY 10-15 percent to your cholesterol levels. Few fats are good for you. And you don't have to eat a lot of fat to go low carb.
Statins are a proven answer. Why contrive another solution?
