Cholesterol level is 4, it never moves up or down.. the good ch in the blood is 1.99, the bad ch in the blood is 1.98, so one out weighs the other, and does occassionally bring it down to a negligable level..But being a former chef, i find adapting food recipes quite easily, so trying new food ideas is great.. and now i have published my first book on soups that are suitable for those who are diabetic (had it checked by my Diabetic Consultant) and also for those on a frugal budget.. But exercise is a bit of a bugbear with me because of a disability (born with it).. it creates so many problems, even to the extent of walking 20yards can be hard some days..But as with many others of my friends, who were born with the same disability, and have diabetes we will not give up who we are or how we relate to life.. Stubborn is the word my other half says..Some days its like stuffing a cushion with veg and free food, even super-free food, but i will continue until i can get to my ideal weight..RegardsM1dpq</blockquote>
