Cholesterol is actually vital to health.

i maintain a slightly lower carb intake - say 40-60g per day. but now that i have chosen to use insulin i do eat some fruit (mainly because i ADORE it).

my main source of carbs is vegetables (salads, green beans, fava beans etc).

i do eat low carb bread in the morning (1 piece only) - but if i did not have the luxury that my choice of insulin brings me - i would not allow myself that...
