[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1816407, member: 245335"] I had done a lot of reading around the subject but I'm no expert, but then neither are GPs, they do what NICE says. I had read more than my brain could cope with and eventually just made a decision based on my experience. As a result of my low carb approach my total cholesterol dropped to 4 anyway and I will not be persuaded to take meds for high cholesterol. Somebody did hint at taking statins again, but as soon a the person said the side effects weren't the same I smelled a rat, actually I smelled BS. I think doing as the GP says has to be one's first choice, until the side effects become more than one feels tolerable. [/QUOTE]
