[QUOTE="fairylights, post: 313711, member: 44416"] Okay - maybe I am still hopeful it might be type 2 - I expect because I hated taking insulin so much. They had me on humulin M3 a 30/70, I started on 10 units morning and evening, worked up to 20 then dropped back to 10 before coming off it. I hated having to eat when the insulin required me to - which seemed to be every hour - insead of when I wanted to. But the consultant did say they would put me on a basla/bolus next time so perhaps that would be easier to cope with. Today was fairly typical, cup of coffee and 2 boiled eggs for breakfast, salad with hard boiled egg, pork chop and cheese with coffee for lunch, homemade chicken tikka with a table spoon of basmati rice fo tea, and an apple and a coffee. But then I tend to pick at stuff in the evenings, maybe a low carb cake from one of the recipes on here, coffee, sometimes a beer or glass of wine, nuts or cheese or a piece of toast. I guess the answer is there - I need to stop doing this! What a good idea - think I will try this - I have a timer so i can set it for 2 minutes. Think I have all of these so cholesterol is probably the least of my worries! I did ask about a fasting test and she said there was no need. I guess I will have to try and read up on statins then before I go to my GP in a couple of weeks and maybe ask again. I do find it a bit confusing though. [/QUOTE]
