[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2422058, member: 21149"] My experience with statins which I do take is that they 'permanently' increase BS by perhaps 1mmol. Not a lot but measurable. The BS won't keep going up. Don't rely on carbs to keep your weight up because of the BS. Fats and proteins should do that unless you are nearer to being T1/LADA which is often the cause of low BMI due to the body burning fat as it can't metabolise carbs properly. Low-carb normally doesn't cause cholesterol total to go up and may improve LDL/HDL ratios etc. BTW many of us would challenge the view that sat fats cause higher blood cholesterol as that's not the way the body handles ingested fats. The liver decides that. So, as well as proteins have enough fats and go unsaturated if worried. [/QUOTE]
