As a diabetic with high cholesterol, I was prescribed by my doctor a group of tablets called Statins. I may be wrong but I think you can buy them over the counter too.

Also, there are plenty of foods containing plant steroids to lower your cholesterol - things like Flora, Benecol, soya milk.

Know what you mean about cheese - it's my weakness too but I think in moderation and along with making other small changes the cholesterol should come down.

 I'm sure there's lots of other tips but they are all I can think of for now!
