My DH had his cholesterol results this morning. He is not a Diabetic though. His cholesterol total was apparently too high. So we asked for the figures and it turns out the high bit is the HDL good cholesterol. He has lots of that!!! and very litlle of the bad cholesterol.
The doctor tutted a bit and told DH to have a low-fat diet as it is good for him. DH pointed out that he eats lard, butter, full fat milk and cream and his cholesterol is good and his HDL levels are very good so why should he change. :crazy:
She changed the subject!!! So I think you are right that they have a set script they stick to regardless of the results.
I tried eating carbs and doing the diet the NHS recommend last week on my holidays. My blood sugar levels went over 8 :shock: so I am back on the low-carbing again now. It really works.
