My total cholesterol was 5.2 back last October when first diagnosed. Last February it had dropped to 4.8 as I cut out a lot of carbs, but this May it has risen to 6.1 when I have cut out even more carbs. I had the diabetes nurse asking me if I wanted statins this morning, but I declined as I think they are dangerous. It made me wonder if I should fine tune my diet to reduce cholesterol, but still keep things low carb to keep my blood sugars as low as possible. My recent HbA1C was 44, which is a big reduction from 99 at diagnosis.
I have changed my diet a lot over the last six months. In December I started to eat porridge for breakfast every other day, but stopped eating it in February. I was eating pulses such as beans in home made soups, but haven't recently. I have been eating more strawberries, but less citrus fruit like oranges over the last few months. I have also been eating more cheese and a lot of cream with strawberries.
Any advice as to what I should do?
