[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1941554, member: 94045"] What you could do with is a print out of your last lot of blood tests. You are entitled to this. It will show which tests you had, the results, and the standard ranges. Statins are cholesterol lowering drugs, so you need to know what your cholesterol and the breakdown of the cholesterol is. (Total, HDL, LDL and triglycerides) If your cholesterol does not need lowering, you can then ask your GP why he wants you on statins. It wil also show what your blood glucose situation is. As it seems you are glucose impaired (another term for pre-diabetic) you need to know what the actual level was - there is a big range for pre-diabetes. Were you near the good end of the range, or the not so good end? A print out will tell you. Statins won't affect LCHF and vice versa. However, statins are known to increase blood sugar levels so you need to be aware of this. [/QUOTE]
