[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2342603, member: 365308"] I love your rainbow btw! Wise to be sceptical about meds and I think it is wrong that as as US citizen you're exposed to this marketing. Your doctor says 'fine' but as you already know having insulin resistance leading to type 2 diabetes increases your risk. One thing you can do to know your actual risk is ask for a calcium scan (see Ivor Cummins /Fat Emperor as referred to in another post here) which will have a look to see inside your arteries as to the actual state of any heart disease rather than the proxy measures taken by the doctor such as lipid numbers. Arterial disease is different to heart failure though and I think there responses here have been about the latter though improving your insulin sensitivity via low carb food and exercising muscles will help reduce your blood sugars and blood pressure and weight all of which will reduce your risk of both considerably. If you wanted to read deeper Ben Bikman is an excellent research scientist who has written a great book around the topic: Why We Get Sick (and what to do about it). He is American too. [/QUOTE]
