Reducing risk of CVD in your T1 child

[Eric]

@Thomas

@Eric - What was the test that gives info about particle size? I recall you mentioning it but don’t remember which test. Is that something worth getting or would you generally only get that if the standard lipid panel shows results that are out of range?

Worth getting, yes because it is a tube of blood either way, so the “cost” to your body is the same. And I don’t believe it cost me any more from insurance.

It’s called an NMR-lipoprofile. I got one and I loved it (because I got good news).

Here is a thread with some info on it.

New insights into the role of HDL in heart disease risk of T1D

Ask for an NMR-lipoprofile. NMR stands for “Nuclear Magnetic Resonance” Here is some information on it: http://requestatest.com/nmr-lipoprofile-testing And here is a sample one that is on the LabCorp website.
