Message: <blockquote data-quote="PenfoldAPD" data-source="post: 1104193" data-attributes="member: 256043">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 <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />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!Thank goodness for this forum [emoji3]</blockquote>
