Cholesterol of 3? That's plain stupid of them.That is pretty much what I am going to do ....refuse to go back every couple of months for tests that are achieving nothing. I am aware of the giving blood to ease the ferritin levels but I don't think the nurse or doctor is as they openly admit they have no clue as to why its rising or what to do about it. Testing my cholesterol should be an annual thing and will be from now on. I am far more concerned about keeping out of diabetic figures than I am about cholesterol and it's possible effects and lets face it...they aren't even sure about what effects what any more. Every day brings new guidelines and confusion so I will just go on eating as I am now and save myself the hassle and worry of it all. They want my cholesterol down to 3.0....the only way to achieve that is with statins as we can only make a difference of 10% with diet. 3.0 is an artificially induced state that this particular little body is quite happy not to be
It's a while since someone mentioned statins to me, partly because I've told them I will never take them and partly because my breakdown is much better after a couple of years on LCHF. I eat a lot of butter. A lot.
