To: Tell It Right

My grandmother’s cholesterol was over 300 from about 1980 when she first had it checked until about 2015. Sadly, she passed in 2016 at 112!

Ha...just had my cholesterol numbers done after doing pretty strict keto...trying for only 20 grams carbs a day...tot chol went from @276 to 317...but ratios are oretty good...doc a but concerned about the LDL stuff. BUT...my CRP is only .71...and insulin resistance <25. So, no inflamation issues! Will get CIMT in January to measure soft & hard plaque..
That will be B interesting. I think dairy does increase numbers...but we will see if it increases plaque. I am in my 70s.

Was your grandmother still mentally with it when she passed?
