[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2182116, member: 21149"] Hi. Don't assume that eating sat fats will increase your overall cholesterol despite what we are all told. The liver determines the amount of cholesterol in the blood and what you eat has only a small influence. Make sure that any cholesterol tests are a complete lipids profile so that you can know the various LDL, HDL etc ratios. Any decision to take statins should be based on those ratios and not the total of 4 mmol that NICE says diabetics should meet - a number plucked out of thin air. You only need to be careful if you have a family history of circulation issues and are probably male. I do take low dose statin mainly to keep my DN happy and it doesn't cause me any problems. I guess you may be beginning to think of this forum as composed of NHS rebels! It does have many good areas but it does have food industry vested interests and a bit too much ignorance. [/QUOTE]
