Low in Vitamin D and calcium but have high cholesterol and high blood sugar level?
What foods can help me with my calcium and vitamin D, but not worsen my cholesterol and sugar level?
I haven't been diagnosed with diabetes but recently been told my blood has a high sugar level.

Hi Fruity Pebbles
Great question! Vitamin D deficiency is very common and is related to cholesterol and sugar/insulin control. Getting enough of it should help improve the conditions you describe. I’m including some sites for more detailed information.
Here are a couple links to books you can take a peek inside:

And links to some great sites on related dietary changes:

well you should go back to your doctor and get diagnosed just to be on the safe side. It would be wise if he referred you to a nutritionist to better keep your sugar levels under control with eating the right foods.
