Hi all! Andrea here. I'm new to this site, trying to figure out if I like this better than WW points. I have high
cholesterol (234 total) and my insulin is crazy high (71.8). The dr. tells me I have to drop the weight to
lower my cholesterol which I'm starting a medication for (short term hopefully). He also wants me to re-try metformin,
which I think I had a reaction to last time but not sure as I was on 2new meds at the same time. Anyway, would appreciate
any helpful tips on what foods to completely avoid due to the issues noted above. Looking for as many friends here as I can make. Need to get my health back, I do not want to leave my daughter without a mom.
