[QUOTE="cswlj, post: 7684, member: 7013"] Hi everyone. First time on the website and first time in a chat room. Bit of history first - I am 46 year-old female who has had diabetes for 33 years. Fairly slim and fit and I eat pretty healthly, although I am prone to a couple of pints of Stella and an Indian meal on weekends - I like to live as well as being a diabetic! Just been for my latest check-up and for the first time they are saying that my cholesterol is too high at 5.2 and they want me to take statins. My cholesterol has always been at this level and being an old-fashioned diabetic of not eating sweets, cakes, biscuits etc, there is not a lot I can do about changing my cholesterol level by diet alone. Bit reluctant to start taking tablets for the rest of my live - what do people think? Is 5.2 really that bad? Thanks a lot. [/QUOTE]
