[QUOTE="CondorX, post: 2210916, member: 505475"] Not posted for a while although still popping in regularly........have stuck to LCHF consistently since diagnosis in April 2019 and have now lost approx 20kg........ Used to test blood glucose very frequently and also used Freestyle Libres for some time, although not recently. My finger prick tests are all in the 4-5.9 bracket these days. I had a repeat HbA1c and Fasting Lipids this Monday.......no idea what the HbA1c is, will phone practice tomorrow, but got a desperate text from my GP this evening saying my "total cholesterol remains very high at 8.8 with LDL of 6. I think we need to consider a statin urgently, please let me know what you think. Happy to issue a script and recheck in 2 months". I will of course attempt to get the proper details tomorrow as we all know that quoting total cholesterol is not particularly helpful and I need the ratios, really..........just looking for some thoughts and opinions? I really don't want Statins............ [/QUOTE]
