[QUOTE="psignathus, post: 1244325, member: 326737"] Hi dbr10. The doctor is still probably a bit humble as, after a good 8 years of their (NHS) treatment my health was in serious decline and he advised me insulin was the next step. I did some research June 15 and decided upon LCHF and upon further research came of the statins much to the doctors disdain. Here I am 14 months or so later with my memory back the aches and pains gone and good blood sugar control. He will not admit he was wrong but he knows that I know that for me his standard treatment was heading me to disaster. So no he will not be taking my meds off me as I told him I also disagree with the NHS guideline around blood sugar levels for diabetics etc. That however, is another story. Incidentally when I came of the statins my cholesterol did go up to around 7 (total) but my HDL went from 0.8 to 1.5. Its now at 6.4 (total) but to be honest after reading the Ancel Keys debacle i'm not overly fussed around cholesterol just hedging my bets a little :) [/QUOTE]
