[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2203161, member: 511345"] Hi [USER=438800]@Grateful[/USER] - thanks for starting this thread, I recently had a review with my doctor and low and behold my cholesterol was up- I told her that as I was losing weight I expected this- she tried the same line that diabetics have to have lower levels- in my head if the blood sugar levels are controlled in 'normal' levels I couldn't understand why this would be the case- I refused to take anything- she made a note- I suspect to say I refused advice. For me she didn't want to know why I expected them to have increased- she agreed that as I was losing weight that the levels could be expected to go up but didn't explain what amount of risk she thought my levels were. This thread has been very reassuring- so thank you. My doctor now rates my cholesterol as a higher risk than my diabetes as my level is stable at 33% or 5.1 . [/QUOTE]
