[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 2287762, member: 219467"] I can completely see your wife's point of view but agree with most of the other posters that a legal case would probably cause more harm with the relationship you now have with your surgery. Use that improved relationship to get regular tests. Diet has an impact on cholesterol but mainly effects the ratios between the various lipoproteins so you really need to get a full lipid panel before making any decisions. The overall level is pretty meaningless to be honest. I'd carry on with the cheese as it provides significant satiety and once you get your blood sugars under control start looking at other health factors. If your surgery are really wanting to keep you sweet ask them for a Coronary Artery Calcium scan to look at the actual build up of possible blockages in the heart. Cholesterol monitoring is a pretty poor second cousin to this test. [/QUOTE]
