[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2401022, member: 6467"] Answer: (1) Step away from the diet books! Hard when you have just bought them but they may not be giving you the best advice. (2) As others have said, it is now generally no longer believed that high fat means high cholesterol. Many on this forum eat Low Carbohydrate High Fat (LCHF) and find that this helps with weight loss and BG control. In general, don't panic. It will take a while to get your head round all the ins and outs of managing your diabetes so don't be too hard on yourself. One thing to possibly look at is the ratios between different bits of your cholesterol. I have high cholesterol (according to the guidelines) but the surgery is happy because the ratios between "good" and "bad" bits are fine. I was prescribed statins but they did bad things to me and I have been statin free for years and eating LCHF with good ratios. [/QUOTE]
