As egg yolk can increase cholesterol levels, one should do lipid test and then take eggs accordingly under doctor's guidance. Generally, two egg whites per day 6 days a week can be taken as egg white is full of proteins.

My dad was recently diagnosed with diabetes and I came across something called IME 9. I'm wondering if it's meant just for type 2 diabetes or if anyone with diabetes can use it? Also, how do we get it? Any advice would be really appreciated.
