[QUOTE="Art Of Flowers, post: 1470644, member: 375067"] My HDL is 1.0 and Trigs 1.5, so it is mostly LDL that has been rising. My ratio of trigs/HDL is 1.5 which suggests only a small amount of sdLDL (small dense LDL, so my LDL is mostly the big fluffy harmless variety). I did fast for the cholesterol tests. I think the porridge + beans was possibly responsible for the reduction from 5.1 to 4.8, but stopping them and eating a lot of cream along with cheese has caused it to rise to 6.1. Foods which reduce cholesterol include: oats, beans, nuts, citrus fruits and soy. Maybe eating more fat from avocados and nuts and less from dairy may also help. I might try some porridge occasionally, but keep the portion size down to about 20g and see what that does to my blood sugar [/QUOTE]
