[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 2305914, member: 429870"] [USER=210103]@MrsT[/USER] 123, I have a cholesterol problem similar to yours, but alas with a persistently higher A1c. My aim is to lower my triglycerides and improve my HDL-to-total cholesterol ratio. For the HDL, I plan to increase exercise, but for the moment health problems have rather scuppered that. For the trigs and LDL, I knew I could not reduce fat below a certain level, as I eat VLC, am under-weight, and have to eat something! I read that increasing fibre in the diet can reduce bad cholesterol. I see that the target for health has recently been increased to 30g fibre daily for women, so that is what I am aiming for.
