[QUOTE="Ryhia, post: 2110497, member: 503862"] Yes I read somewhere but cannot now find where I got the info from that older women (I'm 66) are better with higher cholesterol, something like that. I was feeling do downhearted but I've probably just got myself caught up in the brainwashing that we have had over the years... you must have low cholesterol, you must eat low fat, you must eat carbs. It took me a while to feel comfortable eating fats. During the meeting when she started talking about heart disease and strokes I was put on the defensive a bit as what is the situation here? I eat carbs, keep the cholesterol down a bit but end up having a stroke, heart attack or other life or death changing complications because of the diabetes. I did say that keeping bloods controlled was probably a better thing than higher cholesterol and that also that at a few months ago they were giving me tests for Atrial Fibrillation (turned out to be Ectopic) which would have given me a much higher risk of stroke or heart disease than any cholesterol percentages. For me the track I am on is the way forward, but she's probably spoiled it for me (at least for a time) for eating too much cream, as this is my very favorite and only treat. My file is probably marked now...:nailbiting::nailbiting: Thanks for the heads up on the BMJ site, I will bookmark it for later reading. [/QUOTE]
