I don't see the big deal. My Endo, doctor, and nurse all advise I take statins. I politely refuse and they say ' I've advised you, you are aware of the potential risks but it's your choice to take them or not'
End of statins conversation for 12 months or so.
Should that be 7.4? If the regular readings of 6 and 7 have been for more than 3 months I would have thought the HbA1c would be closer to 7 rather than 70.
I suspect hb1ac is reported in mmol not %. 74 is pretty **** high. Readings daily of 6 and 7 wouldn’t normally give this but they are noted as unusually low for the op so maybe they are since the last hb1ac and change of meds.
That seems an enabling attitude, to fund the pharmaceutical industry that sells statins while giving your clueless doc, who probably doesn't take them, the idea that they might work.
wild salmon or krill or other fish oils will lower the old cholesterol some, but too low a cholesterol does poorly in heart trials
