When I was diagnosed with Type 2 last November, my total cholesterol was 6.8, I did see the split and it wasnt good so my nurse put me onto Crestor statin . Last week , I had a liver function blood test and cholesterol one too and it had dropped to total of 3.7 . At first I was delighted but now a bit concerned, my dose of statin is only 10mg per day but I have been low carbing/exercise for 2 months and lost a stone and a half . I really dont want to take the statin if it isnt really necessary , does anyone know if cholesterol levels reach a base and then stop lowering and stabilise ? if it carries on lowering then I worry that it will go too low which I have read is not good xThanks for any advice x
