So a week after my T2D diagnosis the GP put me on a station to reduce my cholesterol. Have to admit I didn't know much about them so taken it for around 10 weeks now. No adverse side effects - that I know of ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I'm doing LCHF so worried my tests taken last week might show increase - I'll know on Thursday.
Feeling v confused now having read all the anti Statin comments on here. Especially with folks saying it affected them seriously for a long time when they came off them.
Is a Benecol yoghurt drink (4g carbs lowest I could find) more effective. Do GPs get paid for more Statins prescribed?
I thought I was getting there (BG lowest 4.8, highest 7.4 today) but now feel I have this whole new area to try and understand!
