Hello JUKAY and welcome to the weight loss forum.

I have limited knowledge about cholesterol reading but I do know that a single figure doesn't tell you much and that you need to get a printout of your full results, then people wiser than me may be able to give you some guidance.

Meanwhile, I suggest you do some reading around the subject and here is a starting point drmyhill.co.uk/wiki/Cholest...

On the question of diabetes, if that is a diagnosis or a likely diagnosis, it's a question of changing what you eat, not just losing weight. This will give help you understand what is and isn't helpful to you phcuk.org/wp-content/upload...
