LDLc 38 on Low Carbohydrate High Fat Diet




How to calculate remnants

Step one 
TC-HDL
111 - 59= 52 nonHDLc

Step two
NonHDLc - LDLc
52-38= 14 remnants (should be less than 20?)


I eat 60% fat on a Low Carbohydrate diet 
with high protein. 
I have done this since 2011.

The lab above is on the following medications:

1-Lipitor 10 mg/d (atorvastatin)

2-Endur-acin (nicotinic acid) 1,000 mg/d (OTC)

3-Lovaza 4,000 mg/d 
 I,000 mg of Lovaza contains:
eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA - approximately 465 mg) and
 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA - approximately 375 mg).

My triglyceride level is quite low due to all three medications. I usually do my lab non-fasting. 

I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in 1998.
