[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1769596, member: 401801"] Hello, and welcome! I'm a T2, on a keto diet now to lose more weight, but I was on LCHF for a year and a half before taking it even further. Doc put me on statins as total cholesterol was 6-something, but the side-effects for me were horrible. Luckily, LCHF helped not only put my bloodglucose back in the non-diabetic range, it also lowered my cholesterol. Feels counterintuitive, doesn't it? Eat more fat to lower cholesterol? (While I must say, yours seems okay to me!) Most of the cholesterol we have a problem with is produced by our own bodies, it's not entering our bloodstrean by mouth. I was off statins and gliclazide three months after starting low carb. Give yourself some time to try it. I don't know what doctrines your dieticians there adhere to, but I figured my diet out before seeing the one the hospital provided. I was reluctant to see her because 10 years ago I saw her for my morbid obesity. And she'd told me to eat more carbs! And I mean a LOT of them! Now I'm diabetic. Thanks, lady! So make sure you do your own research. Listen to what your body and your meter tell you. And maybe check dietdoctor for recipies and advice. Diabetes is managable, with a lifestyle change, medication, or a combination of the two. You'll be okay. [/QUOTE]
