[QUOTE="wol1959, post: 1478812, member: 403511"] I'm absolutely with you on this! As someone who has spent all my life with a body that served me well and did what I asked of it, it was a massive shock to become someone on permanent medication. Twice I went away and miscalculated the number of Metformin and Gliclazide tablets I needed, and spent valuable holiday time and money in doctors' surgeries, hospitals and pharmacies! It reinforced the sense of being defined by my illness: "Hi, I'm Lawrence and I'm a diabetic!" Like you, I'm refusing to take statins. I'm leaving my cholesterol to go up and down as it needs: if the alternative is to feel old and arthritic and lose all the benefits of the LCHF diet (weight loss, burgeoning energy, med-free), I know which way I'm going! And the research about cholesterol as a CAUSE of heart disease rather than symptom of carb-induced inflammation damage to the arteries is far more tenuous than we're led to believe. So solidarity, respect and best wishes! Go for it! [/QUOTE]
