HDL

The standard approach treats high blood sugar with medications while ignoring what caused it: chronically high insulin. A different approach—addressing the root cause—achieves remission rates up to 46% in real-world settings. Here's the evidence most doctors never see.

The studies that blamed saturated fat? They actually showed vegetable oils increased death rates. Then the data disappeared for 40 years.

A 5‑year very‑low‑carb, remote‑care program for type 2 diabetes showed durable benefits: 20% remission among completers, 33% reached HbA1c <6.5% with no meds or only metformin, alongside less medication and improved heart‑risk markers.

This paper argues that restricting carbs should be the first-line diet for diabetes because it quickly lowers blood sugar, improves key health markers, and often reduces medications—without proven long‑term harms comparable to drugs.

Small, dense LDL exposes hidden heart risk your standard LDL misses — check triglycerides (≥150 mg/dL / ≥1.7 mmol/L) and HDL to catch it early.

Lower‑carb guidance in a UK GP practice led to 46% drug‑free type 2 diabetes remission and 93% normalization of prediabetes, with significant drops in HbA1c, weight, BP, and triglycerides.

Low-carb diets match or beat low-fat for Type 2 diabetes—often cutting meds and improving HbA1c—without evidence of increased cardiovascular risk.

Small, dense LDL exposes hidden heart risk: it predicts events even when LDL looks “normal.”
