[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1299931, member: 41816"] OK, I am not an expert on this, but to my eye, your cholesterol results look good. You may get nobbled by the standard Eat Statins gumph, but in your situation I would stand firm! Have a look at this link. If you enter your cholesterol numbers, the calculator will work out your ratios and grade them on scale up to OPTIMUM. [URL]http://www.hughcalc.org/chol-si.php[/URL] Maybe a print out of the page, waved under your nurse's nose, might stave off The Statin Pressure ? ;) There is definitely a relationship between folates (folic acid) and B12. From memory, they should be harmoniously balanced, and some people blame the rise in B12 deficiency on the folic acid that has been added to certain foods including flour for the last few years. I would check what level of B12 requires injections, and what level will respond to supplementation. Are you on Metformin? That can block B12 absorption. I don't know how long people need to come off Metformin before their B12 absorption comes back on line. :) [/QUOTE]
