[QUOTE="kesun, post: 1101972, member: 39776"] There is no evidence that high cholesterol is dangerous to women and a certain amount that it actually improves our health. So I'd carry on refusing it if I were you. My understanding is that Metformin decreases insulin resistance, so it may be worth taking if it doesn't upset your tummy (which seems to be the main complaint of posters here who don't like it). But it seems logical to see how diet and exercise helps first, if only to help the doctor gauge the dose to match your new blood sugar levels after a few months. According to a doctor friend of mine, denial is actually helpful in cancer cases. In diabetes it isn't - but despite your subject line it doesn't sound to me as if you're in denial, more in shock and using the shock to give you the impetus to sort things out. Kate [/QUOTE]
