[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2679386, member: 517579"] First off - well done. "Remission" is "Officially Defined" these days. There has been agreement [URL]https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/45/5/1151/144853/Incidence-and-Characteristics-of-Remission-of-Type[/URL] that it's now defined as two sub-48 HbA1c scores at least three months apart without use of glucose lowering medication. As you know, we are not allowed to give dosage or medication advice on the forum. I have never used statins or metformin - I know statins will reduce cholesterol - my question is whether cholesterol actually needs to be reduced. Have a read of this, for example, which shaped my thinking: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.bmj.com/content/353/bmj.i1246[/URL] You're doing fine, and you'll get there. [/QUOTE]
