Thanks for the replies. Having spoken to the Doctor earlier today, I am dropping back to 1000mg a day and reassessed in 3 weeks. I'm curious.. Changing eating habits and pills in the bin? Vegan perchance. I tried this with success for 3 years. Perhaps something I need to go back to. Cheers...

Hello. A few weeks ago I had a post Diabetic check-up phone consultation with my G.P because my blood sugar was high (I'm type 2). We agreed to double my dose of Metformin SR to 2 x 1000mg tablets daily (so 2000mg per day). I'm a little worried for the last week I've suffered from some...

I was med free type 2 for over 5 years, but a knee injury stopped me from combining my Vegan diet with my daily stint on the cross-trainer, therefore I suffered a recent spike in my hb1ac. I'm back on the exercise now and sticking with the plant-based foods as my cholesterol level (which prior...

Pop over to Twitter, if you can forgive the odd L.F.C and play tweet, I cook all things Vegan @theplayandratel

I went Vegan.. I'm on the cold pressed flax oil now :) On the up side Cholesterol is great!

Thanks for all the helpful replies, I'm booked in to see the Doctor on Monday about it.

Gymnema Sylvestre and Bitter Melon. Or go Vegetarian:D

Make kale crisps. Remove the stalks, toss in a little rice bran oil and a touch of sea salt-any seasoning works. Then bake at 150 for about 7 mins or so, careful they dehydrate fast and char easily, but get t right and they're damned tasty. As well as next to watercress being one of the most...

Get in the habit if at least 2 litres of water a day and green tea works wonders too. Moderate exercise 19l also help. There are herbal or holistic approaches to lowering your cholesterol, the more science fact led options include plant sterols, Personally having them in a sugar laden yoghurt...

Mashing your spuds releases more carbs than baking them. I'd second the post on sweet potatoes. However, if you can find them purple potatoes are both versatile, healthy and tasty too.

Tried cinnamon, note there are two main types of cassis and Ceylon, both had no effect on me . I had better results just by eating a plant based diet mainly with no processed foods and a simple multivitamin as an insurance policy.

Consider rice bran oil. It has a high flame point and is cholesterol free as well as being high in plant sterols. It's available at Tesco and its reasonably priced to olive oil. My discerning chip connoisseurs of the house love it for chips, whereas I also like to mix it with Apple cider...

I follow a plant based diet and avoid processed foods. Med free and good cholesterol for a year now. So whilst I am a type 2 Diabetic. I would say I regard it as in remission.;)

If you have access to Twitter look at @veganUP he he lots of visual guides on this subject explaining their benefits. (You don't have to be Vegan either:))
