[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2265629, member: 480869"] You have diabetes now. The risk of heart attack is theoretical at present. Continuing to smoke raises your risk an awful lot more than ditching the stain would (if doing so even did raise risk which is debatable). Statins can increase bgl. Whether you are already diagnosed or just heading that way and speeded along by the statins. Are you on them for a specific reason or just because you are type 2? Sadly they are on the tick box list and not always prescribed specifically for individuals. Do you know the full breakdown of your lipid panel? Do you know your ratios? low carb reduces the bad cholesterols and increases the good ones. Carbs are the issue not fats. [/QUOTE]
