Every body is different. Many of us here who are T2 have found that
*increasing* the fat in our diet while reducing carbohydrates to much less
than you were advised (personally I eat fewer than 50 gm of carbs per day)
also results in substantial improvement in our lipids profile, contrary to
the commonly believed idea that eating fat causes one's cholesterol to rise.
Recent studies have indicated that eating fat and carbohydrates together is
what causes high cholesterol, not the fat per se.

Here are the results I experienced by changing from the food exchange diet
to a low-carb one, and besides eggs I also eat 3 ounces of full-fat cheese
every day, that's my breakfast together with some raw green pepper. To give
a more complete picture however, I also eat a lot of nuts and a lot of fish,
and use only extra virgin olive oil as an added fat. I am not taking
metformin or any other prescription medication for my diabetes, but I do
take alpha-lipoic acid, a supplement.
