Well, I have both: I'll see if I can help;

Starter: Green salad, with radishes, tomatoes, celery & red onion rings & cucumber thinly sliced. Light dressing of Extra Virgin olive oil & vinegar.

Salt & cracked black pepper on the table, if they have high blood pressure they may pass on the salt.

Entre: Tuna steaks, grilled with a cucumber/buttermilk cold dressing, (refer to Julia Child) (you could also have boneless poached chicken breasts but slice them before plating, asparagus, sliced fresh (steamed) carrots and rice. Lemon & Lime slices

Dessert: Canned in their own juice(strain off the juice) or fresh fruits in a diet ginger ale (jello + 1 cup water & when cool add 1 cup ginger ale then add the fruit) served in large wine glasses, balloons if you have them.

Works for us. I have two other diabitic friends with high cholesterol, one male & one female - different families.

It's OK, we can have a glass of red wine with dinner, it's good for us.
