[QUOTE="Energize, post: 210528, member: 28960"] Hi Whilst I can understand the sense for reducing carbs to help control BG in diabetes, I would like some verification regarding not reducing the fat content in a reduced carb diet. I can appreciate the effect fats have on delaying the absorbtion the carbs and thus not feeling as hungry so quickly. However, if cholestrol is already raised, will this have an undesirable effect on the cholestrol readings? I'm Type 2, on Metformin. I'm trying to get all this in my head although have started to reduce carbs. It rather makes my choice of foods difficult and very limited for various reasons but one is that I'm not to eat cheese, yoghurt, caffiene (I drink de-caff). I don't eat fish either unfortunately. I do love certain fruits but, of course, they are high in sugar so need to be careful when I eat them. I have to say, all this is rather daunting at the moment but am hoping I will be able to get to grips with it before too long. As I said, it's mainly the question re eating higher fats and the effects on the cholestrol that is my immediate concern. Thanks [/QUOTE]
