If you have health insurance, I strongly reccomend making an appt with a registered dietitian. Most insurances will pay for at least one appt if not more. A dietitian can help you set up a plan.

Hi
Diabetes I know. Cholesterol couldn't even tell ya.

I Stick to high protein and low carbs. Exercise routinely. Check sugars and record them in case things change. Like if you get a flu or infection you may know in advance if your sugar readings go high and everything else in life is static.

I don't know if what I eat would clash with a cholesterol friendly diet. I enjoy eating meat as a protein source so....I dunno

What does your doctor have to say about it?
