[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1337034, member: 94045"] My practice no longer does fasting tests either, but I make sure I have a morning appointment for the blood tests and I fast anyway. You can always do this. I would ask next time for LDL and triglycerides to be included. These are normally standard with diabetic tests, and your doctor is behind the times not to take these into account before prescribing statins. I doubt you will get the type of LDL particles test on the NHS but I believe you can get them privately. I haven't looked in to this though. On my last test a few weeks ago I asked for Vit D, B12, and folate to be tested (out of curiosity mainly) My GP authorised these without question and also threw in iron for good measure. I fully see where you are coming from as regards taking your wife's wishes into account. It would be the same in my household, but happily my husband read the research I found and stopped taking his own statins. [/QUOTE]
