Good that you can eat one meal a day, the huel is good for the nutrients you need but must be a bit boring

Feeling so much better without the statins, I am very intolerant to them unfortunately. I doubt that changing to yet another different type of statin will be helpful. Seeing the doc in a couple of weeks to determine what the best course of action is. I'll ask for a blood lipid test and an inflammation test, and then see where to go from there. In the mean time .. I'll continue to keep the diet low in unhealthy fats and high in protein. Keep exercising. Let's see how it goes :)

Hope you're feeling OK mate, is it the long work days or the BG levels staying a bit too low for you?
