[QUOTE="Pollylocks, post: 937828, member: 46639"] Change my lifestyle in what way do you mean, I'd be interested to hear...? I follow Lowish Carb Highish Fat , since I discovered this forum a couple of years ago. I don't do an awful lot of exercise apart from walking, which I love. Have been diabetic for 16 years, Type 2, but of course, at the time of diagnosis, none of us were as knowledgeable about carbs as we now are. Still only on Metformin though, as I do think I've been careful and I'm not a huge eater. They say diabetes is a progressive disease and yes it is if you follow what the NHS recommend diet wise and I'm only sorry I didn't become diabetic later than I did and knew then what I know now :rolleyes: Cholesterol was 6.9 before taking Atvorstatin, then 4.1 after a couple of weeks, obviously a quick worker ! I've started taking Benecol again, as I used to think it was just an advertising con but have heard good reports. We shall see ! [/QUOTE]
