[QUOTE="suffolkscouser, post: 341160, member: 49169"] Hmm Gotta go and see my Diabetic nurse in 10 days or so. Current sugar readings are between 5.2 and 6 not higher. I've managed this by just cutting down on everything and not eating sweet stuff at all. I eat some mixed unsalted nuts each day and have stopped drinking beer (apart from Christmas and NYE) just on a bottle of red wine each weekend! My Diabetic nurse said with a Cholesteral level of 5 last time I had it done, she wants me to take a statin. I'm not at all sure about this! In fact said no to her at our last meeting, but I know when I get my bloods done for the next visit, she is going to want to look at putting me on a statin. So what's the answer? Do they really help or are the horror stories (of which I have heard loads!) enough to say that for a level of 5 I can do without?! Thanks Guys!! SS [/QUOTE]
