[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2366853, member: 21149"] First, ignore Calories and focus on the Carbs. Why? Calories are not a food group; merely a measure of energy. It can encourage you to reduce the wrong food group i.e. fats when it needs to be carbs for optimum results. Statins are not a diabetes drug and I would suggest should only be prescribed if a full lipids panel blood test shows your ratios need correcting. Perhaps you and your GP have checked that out but many GPs don't do that or go by Cholesterol total which is the wrong measure. If it was me I would take the Metformin as you no doubt have some insulin resistance. It's a very safe drug. [/QUOTE]
