[QUOTE="pau1200, post: 2041565, member: 505394"] Hi, So I have started my journey using the low carb diet and with regular testing my blood sugars have dramatically changed, from being 13+ after eating to 8-9 and just recorded my lowest reading of 6 so diet is really important. I have started my medication today and trying to follow the diabetic nurses instruction of one metformin with breakfast and evening meal and if I can handle it increase it to two. My aim is to come off the medication and control it with diet and a lifestyle change as I don’t want to be dependant on drugs if I don’t have too. My doctor has also put me on atorvastatin to control my cholesterol but looking at my blood results my cholesterol is at 4 which is high but not that high. Most of the information online suggests that once you start on statins you never come off them. Is this really the case or with the lifestyle change and sticking to it can I be medication free? Thanks [/QUOTE]
