Hi Vanny

I've read the other responses. Please post your actual
numbers (we go both ways here - so we can convert if
necessary:-)

Total
LDL
HDL
trigs
VLDL (if you know)
HbA1c
Fasting BGs
And any post-prandial BGs that you know. Also, give us an
idea of the diet you follow now, and what the restrictions
on diet and exercise are from your other ailments.

Like the others, I can't give much advice on raising LDL; I
have the opposite problem and take a statin to minimise it.

However, on diet, I strongly agree with the advice others
have offered - read the "test, test, test" advice by
Jennifer at
http://www.alt-support-diabetes.org/NewlyDiagnosed.htm

Welcome, and come back with lots more questions after you
read that.

Cheers Alan, T2, Australia.
