I would assume that a vegetarian diet of lots of leafy veggies and veggies in general would be ideal - and you're already doing that. Some say walnuts help - and the supplement, Niacin (Vitamin B3). Not sure if Niacin is diabetic friendly.
As for lowering cholesterol, the suggestion is to eat more veggies and incorporate exercise into your daily life - walking, yoga - even low impact exercises help.
niacin works great for me. 500 three times a day (if i remember). it's hard ot remember to take everything after anasthesia for me.
and nod for walking, walking walking, even tho i just had surgery my doc wants me walking three miles per day minimum. doens't matter how fast, and not with breaks. get out and walk 40 mins minimum is her rule.
