Looking for common bond in a group~ Diabetes and Cholestrol control

TerryKing1

Hello and thank you for reading my request.
I am a young 52 years old and have recently been advised by my VA Doctor to reduce my Glucose and Cholesterol. I am lost and look for answers and have taken the time to join this site and subscribe to online journals to help me adjust my diet.
I was a yo-yo dieter and decided to stop the merry go round and learn about controlling my eating disorder and make healthy replacements.
So I said goodbye to Coke, Fruit Pies, French fries, and Cake. I learned to cook growing up and recently relocated to the east coast from CA.
I will continue to read the posts and will submit questions when I can not find the answer. I know this will not be easy but now is the time to change my diet and start to increase my exercise routine.
Thank you

FWIW, after 8 weeks of an avocado a day, my total cholesterol dropped 58 points, with my good cholesterol increasing by a point. I'd tried both low carb and low fat in the past, with no improvement in cholesterol.

I was diagnosed with Diabetes 2 almost 2 years ago. My cholesterol is okay but I have to take meds for it since I take for the diabetes and high blood pressure. I am trying to control my diabetes with exercise. Add me if you would like.
