Hello everyone, I am a Type 2 and have just had results through from my blood test four days ago.
I show a raised cholestrol level of 6 ( I was 5.8 when tested in April of this year)
LDL Cholesterol: 3.56
HDL cholesterol: 1.93
It doesn't give trigs ... just these two.
Since attending last blood tests in April I have had two big shocks in my life ... the first was the sudden and unexpected death of my mum, and following on just weeks later ... my Fiance calling our engagement off.
I was in turmoil over both, and stopped 'looking after myself' and ate stupidly at times (not always)
My GP wants to put me on Statins but surely such a slight cholesterol raise in the circumstances doesn't warrent this?
I desperately need sound advice on my dilemma. Thanking you all in anticipation
