Good morning Carole, as the moderator mentioned, I haven't been in the site for quite a while but your post popped up today. I've continued to be pre-diabetic without it teetering on the edge of T2. I've maintained my weight at around 8st (50kg) but I make sure that I get most of my carbs from vegetables, and I don't take any extra sugar in anything. With regard to the cholesterol, I'm awaiting my next test with the doctor but I did refuse to have statins and agreed to do what I could with diet. When I explained what my diet consisted of .. almond milk, plant based spread and stuff cheese, etc., .. he admitted that the statins probably would help much. It'll be interesting to see the next results! And I have heard that older women need a certain amount of cholesterol. I read a very good book called ' The Great Cholesterol Con' by Dr Malcolm Kendrick. It's definitely worth a read. I hope some of this helps you.
