I’ve been given this weekend to think about whether I take statins and I’m having another conversation with my GP on Monday. I’m also on a very low carb diet and my HbA1c is always fabulous (use a pump to manage my type one diabetes)I’ve also read that statins will lower the levels of coenzyme Q 10 which is vital to support heart health and have been recommended to take vitamin E to keep my blood “slippery “… This from Dr Christiana NorthropShe also says that oxidated cholesterol directly leads to heart disease therefore it’s vital to eat a diet rich in antioxidantsStill chuckling at the idea of giving carb molecules and LDL balloons driving lessons!</blockquote>
