[QUOTE="BrianTheElder, post: 1330609, member: 311044"] I have every intention of coming off both statins and metformin, that is why I have been doing a lot of research. I ask a lot of questions, but often get unhelpful answers. My opinion is that statins reduce cholesterol, which is not good as cholesterol is actually beneficial. Also that metformin is unnecessary if I am controlling my insulin via diet. I have a family history of heart disease, which is why the doctor put me on statins years ago, although I have no problems myself. Unfortunately, my wife insists that I don't stop either medication without speaking to my doctor; I accept she has a say in the matter. I just had a blood test so will see the doc when I have the latest results. [/QUOTE]
