[QUOTE="lindisfel, post: 1507146, member: 57698"] Hi Connie, The PCSK9 inhibitors (Repatha is one) will reduce any damaging LDL you have but are not without side affects and can, like statins make T2D worse. For some reason Pfizer I heard has decided not to make them. I have a similar total chloresterol to you but my lipid profile indicates I have very little of the damaging LDL and I am not on meds like metformin or worse still insulin, which is not a get out of jail free card in T2D. Anyway I hope you get the right medication without side effects. regards Derek [/QUOTE]
