You can sprinkle cinnamon on your food. That is also suppose to lower cholesterol. Hope this helps.

Diet

Submitted by PENNY2638 on Wed, 04/30/2008 - 06:52.
Jo Also eating oatmeal can lower your cholestrol. Also don't eat any processed meats because they have lots of cholestrol and salt in them also.

Miss Jo, I didn't see a bad

Submitted by randy cobb on Tue, 04/29/2008 - 22:02.
Miss Jo, I didn't see a bad word of advice there in the postings that have been put forth.  The one about taking a diebetic diet class though is solid info.  I just completed a four session class a week or so ago and I found out an awful lot of stuff that I did not know.  Just about all that was said in the other postings were covered in that class.  The diabetic diet is a healthy diet for just about everybody but it does require changing some habits that we hold pretty dear.  Like Dorothy, I grew up on southern cooking, but it isn't always good for you.  I also found out I don't have to give up everything I like.  But I do have to watch portion control and be aware of what I put in my mouth.  I know it sounds odd, but I am almost glad that I came down with diabetes.  It got my attention and I have been working on living with it.  As a result, I feel better and have much more energy.  I hate the treadmill, but it is contributing to my well-being.  I know you can do it, Miss Jo, if you set your mind to it.

HOLY SMOKES!

Submitted by skbeal on Tue, 04/29/2008 - 17:26.

Holy Smokes, Jo! You're not talking about BAD cholesterol, you're talking about TERRIBLE! 

Ask your doctor to send you to a prediabetes class. You need to learn about portions, about what will raise your blood sugar and all that stuff. My hubby's doctor sent us when his triglycerides were really high! I learned a LOT there!

Vegetables

Submitted by PENNY2638 on Tue, 04/29/2008 - 13:15.

Jo You can have squash, green beans, collards, turnips, lettuce, broccoli, asparagus, beets, carrots, cabbage, leaks, cucumber, bell pepper, onions, and radish. Hope this helps you some. If will can eat these you will be ok with your sugar and cholestrol also. Just don't put alot of salt on anything you eat also.

You can also have meats such as baked chicken, broiled fish, and remove all skins from chicken and fish before cooking.

Trans Fats!

Submitted by skbeal on Tue, 04/29/2008 - 16:36.

Jo, you need to stay away from trans fats especially. Don't eat so much red meat. We've been eating a lot of chicken and pork. My hubby doesn't like fish unless it's fried, and that's really bad. You can eat lots of fruits, green leafy vegetables; in fact, the more colorful, the better. Don't use bacon fat for cooking. Don't use Crisco, OR most margerines. Butter isn't too great either. How much do you have to lower your cholesterol? 

Brown rice is better than white rice. Avoid white flour and processed stuff. Read labels whenever you are at the store. It's not just sugar that is bad for you. It's foods that are made from simple carbohydrates such as white flower, noodles, white rice, that sort of thing. Use olive oil when you can.

The best advice I can give you is to NOT fry stuff. If you grill it, bake it or broil it, you'll remove all the bad stuff that contains the cholesterol!

Fried foods

Submitted by grannyrose on Tue, 04/29/2008 - 13:49.

is a no, no Jo. If you can follow what Peeny gave you and bake and broil your meat, whole grain cereal and breads, 2% or less milk.  Watch your egg yolks also. You will be able to bring your numbers down. When cooking your beans and greens use smoked turkey instead of salt pork.

I think

Submitted by grannyrose on Tue, 04/29/2008 - 19:30.

mine was close to what Dale's is now if not higher, Dale.  I changed my eating habits really fast because so many on my father's side are diabetic. I was pre-diabetic per my Internist. I worked really hard and the next year it had gone way down. I would have to look at my lab's to see the numbers for sure.  My problem now is I don't eat enough. I am eating once a day because of my stomach problems. I will see the gastro doctor Thursday.

I am with you Jo, I need to eat better myself.  I will go on the diet with you.
