Message: <blockquote data-quote="becca59" data-source="post: 2702599" data-attributes="member: 264425">I have resisted statins for 10 years. However, they are now really high on a very good diet. Monday I had my consultant appointment. After 10 years and very good care I have been transferred to a new guy. Young, enthusiastic and although he impressed that the decision was mine and no way would he force me to go on them, he laid out some interesting arguments for. He felt my diet was exceptionally good and had little room for manoeuvre. And the difference in needs between a type 1 and 2 is poles apart. Diet can improve cholesterol as a type 2. Type 1s are much more hampered by the nature of the disease and its effects on the levels. It was a phone appointment and he expressed that he would like to actually meet me in person at my next one. Which I liked. Also mentioned the new technology coming through. Although not at the top of the list as I’m apparently in the top 1% of well controlled his aim is to ultimately have his patients on it if they want to. All sounds good to me.</blockquote>
