High fiber foods. Fiber helps pull cholesterol out of the body. Oatmeal is an excellent breakfast food.
Eat more fruits/veggies, & cut back on your meat consumption, especially red meat.
Drink more water, & less pop & juice.
Increase your whole grain consumption while decreasing refined, white flour products such as white breads & confections & pastries.
You would do well to add two supplements to your diet.
Spirulina is an excellent addition, and so is chromium picolinate. You can find both of these at your local health food store.
Good luck.

Oatmeal with cinnamon. Not the kind that's premixed like instant oatmeal. The kind you have to cook. It cooks in only 2 minutes n the microwave. I have also heard that cinnamon lowers the blood sugar. Add a quarter teaspoon to your oatmeal with some artificial sweetener. You'll be lowering your cholesterol and blood sugar in one easy meal. Stay away from fruits. They are high in fructose, aka sugar. Also, read labels. Anything ending in "ose" is a sugar.

You must drop the sugars and carbs from your diet. It's just common sense if you are battling diabetis. But you knew that didn't you?

LOSE WEIGHT.
Diabetes is serious - it can lead to heart attacks, blindness, kidney failure and a whole host of other problems. Nip it in the bud by eating healthy, whole foods. Avoid processed foods with high fructose corn syrup (it's in everything). And exercise.
Good luck.

chuck out all the saturated fats like butter,confectionary.Cook food in olive oil, eat lots of raw green veggies except avoid potatoes, and other tubers.If possible adopt a meditteranean diet which will work best for you! every morning consume a glass of clear lime juice with a dabble of cinnamon powder in it and honey, it wil perk up and clean your gastric canal for the day!

Just watch your salt intake. My dad was borderline and the doc told him to watch his salt intake. He didn't listen and now he is diabetic and having plenty problems while he wishes he would have listened

Do what your doctor says. Don't look from answers from total strangers. Your health is too important.

vegetables and lots of them. Also egg whites (not as much fun as the whole egg!), fish (not shrimp!), and skinless chicken.
