[QUOTE="AtkinsMo, post: 1358549, member: 104933"] Being on a high dose of Lipitor will increase your risk of diabetes and worsen your HbA1c. Read the insert in with your medication, it's in there as a warning. I entirely agree with all [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] has said. My cholesterol (total) started high - I was always a statin refusor, it went up as I lost weight, it went down after, it is just a little lower than yours. (333). Like the previous poster I no longer have it checked and it does not worry me in the slightest. Read the link above by Zoe Harcombe and watch the Ken Sikaris video. The smart money now believes that it is the inflammation lowering properties in Statins that actually produce the (small) improvement in health outcomes - and there is no benefit in terms of all cause mortality and even in incidence of cardio-vascular events in primary prevention. You would benefit your heart far more by having a half hour brisk walk every day and sticking with the diet, in my opinion. The LCHF diet is naturally inflammation lowering. [/QUOTE]
