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!!!
Second or third the carnivore diet for type 2. Eliminates it. Cholesterol is made by the body not ingesting red meat. Cholesterol goes to areas of damage like a fireman goes to a fire. Higher cholesterol is a signal that there is damage.
This is all stuff I’ve heard from doctors on YouTube.
Seems the sugar and refined foods people are controlling the script for the medical industry. Hence the statins, etc.
I’ve been on ultra low carb for 9 months and I can see my abs again. I eat a lot!
