[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2014322, member: 372207"] I'd tackle the blood sugars first. In my case, depression disappeared after getting my blood glucose down. (It has by now reared it's head again, but that has been pretty normal for me all my life, and it's nothing like the deep dark abyss from the months leading up to my diabetes diagnosis.) As for cholesterol, you might find that will return to normal as well when your bg gets lower. It did for me, even though I upped the fats (butter, eggs, fatty bits of pork, so yes, all th so called 'bad' fats). It seems blood cholesterol is only linked to diet for a very small part and it may well be it's not the dietary fats that make it rise but the carbs. Yes, I'd get a glucose meter as soon as you can (don't look at the price of the meter, look at the price of the test strips!) so you can see what different foods do to your bg. If you don't test you won't know where to improve. The place where you live sounds perfectly wonderful! Show us a picture? [/QUOTE]
