My dad was diagnosed as type 2 several years ago. He manages with insulin daily. He has had a stint put in to help his arteries stay clear of plaque and his doc wants his LDL level to go down a lot.
Problem is, the heart doc says no red meat or animal products, but the sugar doc says no carbs or fruits. That doesn’t leave much to live on.
I’m inclined to think sugar is worse of the two, so maybe animals fat is a better choice. However, living with high sugar can be managed better than the chance or a heart attack.
If any of you have any thoughts or suggestions about supplements or meds or diet options, I would love to hear them.
Thanks frens!!!
I'm not a DR so do your own research as mine is limited. But, Ozempic is a diabetic medicine that is being studied for heart disease.
Sorry about the link (CNN) but it will give you a start as you research:

You do realize that Ozempic and all GLP-1 drugs are derived from Gila Monster venom?
