Hi Jem,
Had my blood tests done today, will let you know results when they come through. They should show if Benecol/Almonds had the desired effect.

People that feel just because diabates is a life-threatening "illness" it should be treated with kid gloves and nobody is allowed to have a laugh. My humour got me through abuse, near death experiences, serious and debilitating illnesses and lifelong pain and deformity - why give up the thing that works??
thanks both - always good to know what works for other people :) ...

GRaham, do ground almonds count? Cos if they do then I think I have it covered lol ... cheers!

Hi Jem,
I can't see it would make any difference, but I do hope they work,if not it will probably mean Statins. I use ground almonds on my porridge.

Cheers Graham
