[QUOTE="Jac25, post: 1689917, member: 348678"] Hi all, Just returned from an appointment with the diabetic nurse, who was delighted my HbA1c had come down from 50 to 46. However, she said my cholesterol was 6.1, and they like Diabetics to be anout 4. She mentioned Statins, which I seriously don't want. So, has anyone else run into this problem? And how on earth do you manage high cholesterol on a LCHF diet? I don't eat a lot of red meat, but since going LCHF, I've switched from margarine to butter, added cream into my diet, and have been a big cheese eater all my life. However, I have cut out all cakes and biscuits, pastry, crisps, except for home baking made with nut flours / sweetener. I should add I have M.E. , so can't exercise - I have to manage everything through diet. I also suffer with chronic pain as a result of the M.E. so on regular painkillers. Thanks for any advice you can offer [/QUOTE]
