[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1854003, member: 245335"] Absolutely brilliant! Well done! You shouldn't do. Even if she felt that you needed something to lower your cholesterol, there is nothing that says you must take that medication. In fact the NICE guidelines state exactly that for any prescribed drug, it's meant to be an agreement between patient and person prescribing the drug. I keep plugging the attached graph. It's a little old now but still valid. It might only have total cholesterol measured rather than HDL/LDL/Trigs but still relevant. Looking at the dotted red line it plots the number of deaths from a cardio vascular event against the total cholesterol, the number of deaths increase as you go above about 205 mg/dl (5.3 mmol/L - For total, HDL, and LDL cholesterol multiply mmol/L by 38.67), and increase as you go below 5.3 mmol/L. So much rubbish that my condition has improved exponentially since follow the advice gleaned from their pages. I can accept that people like your DN is wrong, but I struggle with so called experts giving the same old advice that they did in the 1970s and be so unaware of what's going on. I need to find the DN who was up for an award, her story should be taken to your DN. Edit: [URL]http://diabetestimes.co.uk/low-carb-nurse-advocate-up-for-top-health-award/[/URL] The URL says itall.
