Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jo_the_boat" data-source="post: 2326421" data-attributes="member: 436209">We are presuming you're being offered statins for your cholesterol??How long have you been T2?Have you tried lifestyle changes (diet / exerecise) as an alternative to medication?Many here swear by the lifestyle option and have found they have got their HbA1c down to non-diabetic levels and their cholesterol balance right. There's evidence, last time I looked, that low cholesterol is more dangerous than it being somewhat high.From my perspective: Statins for cholesterol: No.  Statins for prevention of secondary cardio-vascular events: PossiblyI take a statin for a specific reason and have done for 4 years. It's unwise, in my opinion, to rule them out carte blanche.</blockquote>
