Don't know about statins but I slowly withdrew my blood pressure tablets as I progressed. A gamble I know and not one I would recommend unless you are so anti statin. I would seek further advice. In my experience many doctors don't even believe it is possible to reverse diabetes and after all...

Not been here for a while but still interested in progress. I was diagnosed type 2, 21 October 2015. Hba1c was then at 7.5 (59). I had allowed myself to get sucked in to eating and drinking all the wrong things, no exercise and weight crept up. 15st 1lb, cholesterol 5.9, blood pressure off...
