[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 1640101, member: 219467"] All the above in bold are high carb items which will likely cause elevated blood glucose levels. I would not eat any of them. The rest of your list is fine. You are also taking statins which have been known to raise blood glucose levels in some. So if you want to get your blood glucose levels lower then cut out the carbs and get yourself a meter so you can see what eating high carb foods does to your blood sugar. In your shoes I would do that before worrying about cholesterol levels which are probably benign anyway as you are female and higher cholesterol levels are associated with lower all cause mortality (maybe depending on your age). But that is simply my opinion. Depending on which Diabetes charity you have contacted you may get very different advice. For me what I suggest has worked very well so you will need to make your own decisions. Fat is what keeps me feeling full and satiated so I don't avoid it - it also has very little impact on your cholesterol levels. [/QUOTE]
