[QUOTE="cold ethyl, post: 726020, member: 107467"] I seem to recall reading that Metformin had LDL lowering properties as good as if not better than statins so I can't see why they want you on statins as well. I was told by one GP at my practice that meds weren't necessary for my higher cholesterol levels as sorting diabetes would sort it, while my own GP wanted me on them but said it was my call. I declined so will see what my next test shows. I suffer from fibromyalgia so don't need anything that might give me aches and pains. [/QUOTE]
