Hello everyone!
I've been lowcarbing (Atkins) since leaving hospital in December 2003.
I went for my blood results on the 13th of May (The samples were taken in April) and was told that my LDL chol. was high, and that it had been normal during my stay in hospital.
What am I doing wrong?
My A1c (I'm type 2 diabetic) was excellent: 5
As were my triglycerides. They also told me that they found protein in my urine- not much, they said, but they want to check that out further. I explained to them that I am eating a lot of protein being on the Atkins diet but they said it shouldn't really spill over into the kidneys. So I've to undergo what I think is another test for 'creatine' in my urine over a 24 hour period.
Anyone got any suggestions?

Hope to hear from you soon.
Kind regards,
