[QUOTE="Bob_RD00752, post: 1174813, member: 87498"] I'm a type 2 diagnosed in 2012. My total cholesterol was over 4 with HDL at 1.0, LDL over 2 and high triglycerides. I was put on Simvastatin (20mg) and this improved things dramatically though with some side effects. Now on Pravastatin 10 mg with total chol 3.2, HDL 1.7, LDL 1.9 and triglycerides 0.5. Not sure why the Dr still wants me on statins, suspect it depends on my heart attack risk score. HbA1c dropped from 52 at diagnosis to 42. Lost about 10 kg so probably need to lose a bit more!
