Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I generally just smile and nod and ignore their advice, I refuse the drug prescriptions, smile and nod again, then leave. But then my numbers have been getting consistently getting better since I've been on a reversing Diabetes diet. They especially don't want to hear how I'm doing it assuming they are responsible, even though I use no drugs and they are doing absolutely nothing for me. I'm going to a free clinic and only to get prescriptions for insulin, needles, and test strips so I can get all that stuff for free. Katy My Dr. is wanting me to have a lipid panel done soon. but I do not want to start getting hassled if the results don't suit them. What is everyone's experience? What might I see if I did it, since I've been eating maybe 75% NT plus lowered carb with lots of butter, cream, etc.? Should I refuse the testing? I told her there is no way I'd accept any drugs, but if " bad " numbers were on record, could it become a problem?

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 ly, I am going to be tested. I don't see why one would have high cholesterol on a low carb NT diet, while avoiding frankenfats. At least that's my theory. It is insulin that controls the laying down of cholesterol so if your insulin is in control the numbers should be reasonable...not that they matter, but it is interesting. IMHO. Even if they come out highish you can consider it a baseline.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 From everything I have read and heard about low carb, high fat diets cholesterol levels are likely to go down.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I was tested last June, just after I went on grain free/sugar free natural diet. I refused to go on drugs even though she prescribed them and mailed them to me anyway (VA) The labs were repeated this month. Total Cholesterol dropped from near 300 to around 150. HDL went from 30 to 51. LDL is still high at about 100, BUT, after all the discussion about fewer " fluffy " large particles that don't oxidize, vs lots of small particles that do, I figure I'm fine even though VA won't do that particular test. The only fats I eat are coconut oil, butter and once in a while olive oil. I eat nothing processed, so, if you are really eating happy, your numbers should be just fine. Also, remember, cholesterol is NOT the demon it's made out to be, all of this was based on fraudulent reporting of research. Whether or not you get tested is your choice, but if you are eating right, there's probably not a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
