My HDL has increased, my TC/HDL ratio is improved, my triglycerides have decreased, my fasting blood glucose has decreased -- every blood measurement has gotten better.

Algarrobo Thanks for sharing, but until a few dozen more people show up here who've had the same thing happen to them in the same circumstances there's really nothing that can be drawn from your experience. You can't be certain the diet caused the problem. If it did it might simply be that the diet isn't suitable for you individually, whereas others would have no such problem with it. Hope your eyes are better soon. -- Junk Food Monkey ~~~~~~ Use the Reply To address only to email me. http://www.junkfoodmonkey.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk |

Please be advised that not every medical problem is caused by the Atkins
Diet, nor is every medical problem solved by the Atkins Diet. Good luck. -- Cheri Type 2, no meds for now.

increase of creatinine, and a very significant increase of
triglycerides and URIC ACID. Cholesterol didn't show a significative change. Your rise in triglycerides is very strange. Low-carb diets are consistently proven to significantly lower TG levels (not only by experience of almost everybody in this group, but by clinical trials). Mirek |
