[QUOTE="ObscureMH, post: 1639142, member: 436796"] Thanks all. Appreciate the feedback. Saw doctor today and she relented and said I can come off statins. She said they're given as a precautionary for diabetes patients, but she relented.Fair play to her. She told me her reasons for keeping statins but listened to my concerns. Tick. She then said I can reduce Metformin to 1 tablet twice a day, and we'll run another hba1c in 3 months, and see if we can remove it altogether - her words, but knowing that is my wish. Tick. She was astounded by my readings, and said she'd not seen such a significant change in 3 months. I said low-carb diet was the key, however, her question was "what was your diet like before to be that high?". I didn't think it was that bad, but guess it was. So, off to Australia for Christmas, where I may lapse a bit, but after that will maintain low carbs forever (with occasional off days). Fingers crossed for next hba1c. Mark P.s. do you think I should post something in Success Stories forum? [/QUOTE]
