[QUOTE="SueSmith, post: 1629996, member: 455519"] I eat butter and cheese, semi skimmed milk (because I don't like full cream milk in tea) & single cream on my breakfast. If I listened to my doctor (or more to the point, the diabetic nurse) I would be on a low fat diet, because my cholesterol is highish. However, since a lot of the cholesterol research is a scam to get the world on statins, I take no notice of that. Incidentally, it's difficult to find what is a "low" carbohydrate diet, in terms of total carbohydrates consumed. The diabetic nurse wasn't interested in discussing it, nor in my testing my glucose levels. I had to buy a meter (and later found I could have got a free one here) and I buy the testing cartridges. I went on a 6 hour NHS "diabetes" course which was very simplistic, and spent as much time on fat levels in food as it did on diabetes (because, you know, cholesterol). I picked 130 gms because that's what my dad was told he should aim for when he was diagnosed about 50 years ago. [/QUOTE]
