Message: <blockquote data-quote="allwayschattering" data-source="post: 120205" data-attributes="member: 21497">Well I'm diet only, when I had my Cholestorol checked in Sept it had reduced from 9.3 to 4.6 Drs still not happy. Sugar levels were 5.6 and weight loss over 2 stone.Then had everything rechecked week before Christmas and sugar levels 5.8 cholesterol 5.5. Blood pressure was fine then so felt really good even tho nurse moaned about cholestorel.  My Cholestorol has been slowly rising from 5.5 20 yrs ago to the 9.3 last June!! Drs never bothered about it untill diagonosed with the diabetes, then it was all negative. My mum has had diabetes for 20yrs now but the  Drs always said it didn't  mean I would, but guess what, now everything is in my genes!!I'm on Atorvastatin 20mg so can't eat Grapefruit and if you real the literature can't really drink much either. I also eat porridge for breakfast as it's good for Cholestorol. Seems we are supposed to live a miserable life according to the Drs. Mine are really negative although I exercise every day and have lost the weight mainly thru that.I don't test my blood sugar and just try to be sensible about things, will be back at Hospital to see the specialist about cholestorol in August, she was really positive and wrote a letter to my drs saying how well I had done in Sept. I will avoid the really negative Dr like the plague in future.</blockquote>
