What foods are vegetarian, suitable for diabetics, AND good for lowering cholesterol? the incredible edible egg has become a staple. Sigh.

i'm pretty sure oatmeal and blueberries are both good for that. also, a reduction in the type of cholesterol you take in can also help lower your bad cholesterol and raise your good cholesterol, so avoiding poly saturated fats is obviously a good thing, but dont give up your cheese, milk, and yoghurt (i'm assuming assuming vegetarians can eat those and that you arent going vegan). i've also heard that eating more fiber in general can help clean out bad cholesterol. so any kind of fiber in that sense, but especially vegetable fibers like the kind you get from carrots, lettuce, celery, and kale.

Oats too. Cheerios and/or oatmeal will help. Nature's broom.

Exercise also helps lower cholesterol.

Make sure you increase your fiber. Beans and rice are a great complete protein, and will increase your fiber too.

i love cheerios, but i can't have more than a quarter cup at a time or sugar spike.

rice is low in fiber if it's white. :) make sure it's real, and read the fiber, mix it with beans. also, i can't eat white rice and not get sugar drunk.

oats i can't have more than 1/2 a cup or i'm tooo high also... but i like mixing the oatmeal with walnuts. no can do oatmeal with fruit, tooo much.

i was addicted to the fake maple flavor in a bottle for a while in 2005. :) toad hates the smell tho. sorry but real maple syrup is to die for. seriously. high spikes!
