[QUOTE="Dax1973, post: 2469991, member: 551536"] it says statins "marginally improve HDL" but I am already on fish oil and other supplements which increased HDL from 0.6 to 0.7 and reduced LDL from 3.8 to 3.2 (but anything lower than 3.0 is ideal) and hdl of over 1.4 has no additional benefit and it should be over 1.0 at least,) fish oil can be taken without taste like mine and vegan options are also available ie algal oil (but not so good). The 3.8 was while on statins so is entirely due to the supplements as is the HDL increase they also lowered my HbA1c to 42.3 (126.1 mg/dl converted using the usual formula the doctors figure was 42 so presumably the same and was done 8 days later. (cerascreen do HbA1c tests cheaply I recommend them for those with needlephobia as only uses 4 bloodspots or who wish more regular updates on their plans and how well they are working - send mondays and get result by the following wednesday ie 9 days later).
