[QUOTE="Geordie_P, post: 2397731, member: 343949"] Hi Brett, is that triglyceride measurement in American or UK units? (if it's US measurements it's high, but not too bad. If it's UK measurements that would make it very high indeed). I had trigs of 32 UK/ 320 USA, and very painful neuropathy. I dropped it to normal levels by diet and avoiding alcohol. I also took rosuvastatin at the start on doctor's advice. Once I was back to normal levels-about 3 months later, my doc took me off rosuvastatin. My thoughts for you are that if you are on like 6.2 UK measurements, you may be able to handle it with diet, but if you are on an actual UK 62, you'd probably better take whatever the doctor can give you. Your blood sugars seem very, very high as well- insulin injections don't help? I think you need to review your current programme ASAP. I certainly wish you all the best, and I'm sure there are things you can do to improve your situation. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
