[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 685706, member: 11028"] No I don't take a statin Jack, it was suggested I should around 3 years ago after I had a health scare (chest pains) and my TC went above 4, the Cardio Nurse thought that all diabetics should be on statins and my Endo at the time agreed, he wrote to my gp and said I should start on them. However, after a few weeks I made an appointment to see my gp and he said I had excellent cholesterol levels and didn't see the need to start on statins, I had at that point just had Angiogram and everything was fine and this was another reason why he didn't want me to take a statin, after speaking with the Endo again we agreed to agree that we should leave things for now and review the subject a few years down the line. If and when the time comes I'd happily take a statin, did a little research on the subject at the time and think I would ask to start on Artovastatin if I were to take one, of all the statins this seems to have the fewest side-effects. As for my diet, I don't low or high anything tbh, as my signature says, everything in moderation, on average I eat around 180g of carbs a day (sometimes a little more on a weekend). [/QUOTE]
