[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1711873, member: 41816"] Sorry to hear about your nurse. Do you know her name, and can you avoid her in future? Your cholesterol is 5.1 That is below the national average. So it isn’t ‘high’. It would appear that your nurse has not kept up to date with modern thinking. Eating carbs (bread, rice, potato, pasta, sugar, sweet fruit...) will push up blood sugar levels. If you stop/reduce carb intake then you need to replace those foods with something else, don’t you? Protein and non-starchy veg are useful to fill you up, and so is eating a bit more cheese, butter, mayo, etc. Since fat does not push blood glucose up. Dietary fats barely increase cholesterol. She should know this. There are a number of ways to reduce bad cholesterol, and reducing carb and alcohol intake are amongst the quickest. Cutting sugary drinks like coke will make a big difference. See if you can make an appointment with another nurse next time. [/QUOTE]
