I have just had another run in with my GP who seems only interested in getting me on statins - even though I have got my HBA1C down to 6.4 (which, when challenged, she grudgingly admitted was not actually diabetic) through weight loss and low carb diet. My total cholesterol is 5.7 (HDL and LDL figures are good, I seem to have a problem with triglycerides at 2.5) - however, my GP still saying cholesterol control is more important than glucose control for diabetics and pre-diabetics - feeling bullied....
