Managing Cholesterol

Hi there. I'm 26 years old and have had T1 diabetes since I was five. In 2007 my GP put me on Statins to lower my cholesterol, now I'm starting to plan for a baby I've been taken off them and my cholesterol has shot up again (6.2).

I don't think I eat very badly - no ready-meals, try to make most things myself, hardly ever have a take-away, skimmed milk, low fat, so I don't understand how I can bring this down with my diet. I've been told to eat porridge and dried fruit for breakfast and a few other foods that could help - just wondering if anyone has any particular advice / foody tips that will help!

I hate being my GP's pin-cushion and don't think she'll stop testing until my levels are below 4. Help!
