Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="SJC" data-source="post: 556215" data-attributes="member: 108294">I don't of course. But I do know it didn't raise my cholesterol for a very significant number of years. I have just had a good read up about different fats and the argument for butter. I have some butter in right now and was using it occasionally when I joined the forum. I usually buy Bertoli because I was led to believe it had a good balance of the fats that are good for cholesterol. So, I have been doing a bit of Bertoli because it doesn't sit so heavy on my tummy, and a bit of butter but I am not putting lashings of butter on everything. The highest my cholesterol has ever been is 5.7 and that has happened in the last six months, at the same time as being diagnosed prediabetic. There is much conflicting advice on the internet. There does seem to be a growing thumbs up for butter, BUT there also seems to be growing concern for the higher number of people having heart attacks since the LCHF diet became very popular. Now wether that's the low carb bit or the high fat I do not know. I am trying to weigh up wether I would prefer to die of a kidney related problem and end up on dialysis ( because of my kidney disease), or a sudden heart attack that could take me at a moments notice.Life shouldn't be like this, but unfortunately it is. I had an Indian chicken curry last night and spiced aubergines. 4.8 BG before....4.8 2 hours later. I am contemplating living purely on Indian chicken curry !!!!!!! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> Hey, I might even throw in a knob of butter!</blockquote>
