[QUOTE="TwoTone, post: 2335836, member: 516838"] Haven't posted to the forum for a while but this caught my eye. My own cholesterol levels followed a similar path. 7.5 at diagnosis now down to 5.2 plus or minus and GP offering statins which were summarily rejected. About statins, please do a search on "statins increase blood sugar". My GP couldn't argue that. Also search "cholesterol uric acid". Uric acid is a bye product of the food we eat in the form of purines. Diabetics are strongly implicated with gout (70%) - hi uric acid. My medication is 200mg of allopurinol to treat uric acid levels. For T2D Metformin has gone from 2000mg a day to 500mg a day since severely reducing purine intake - gave up eating meat 3 3/4 years ago. There is research out there connecting uric acid with insulin resistance. Good luck. Tony [/QUOTE]
