| I did 2 yrs under 30g carb per day now I do 40-100g per day and my lipids are so good that the Diabetes Education Centre thought it was a typo, they had never seen a diabetic with such good cholesterol.. a word of warning though, dont be too alarmed if the LDL rises a bit in the first year, the HDL will rise too actually improving the ratio.. and his triglycerides will drop to the low end of normal quite quickly.. in the 2nd yr the LDL will come down as well... it all seems to balance out.. I eat as much fat as I want, but have found after 4 yrs, I do not want an extraordinary amount.. I pretty much eat what the low fatters, eat plus a bit more fat, minus a lot of simple carbs.
