As very slim a non-medicated Type 2 for a long time my principal breakfast has been muesli and banana (or toast and Marmite and peanut butter as a treat).

It was high in all the wrong places and the doctor, without even looking up, said he would be putting me on statins. I said oh no you wont. I told him I would control the cholesterol by changing my diet. He had no such diet sheet for me when I asked and he frankly wasn't interested. Anyway, to cut a long story short I did it. (He had advised I return in 7 months for a re-test). I did so and had halved all the bad figures. I was handed the results by the receptionist who informed me that the doctor did not wish to discuss anything with me and I could take it that he was satisfied. I have very rarely been back to the doctor since. Good luck. Rachel Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053924416805878169noreply@blogger.com
