[QUOTE="mariavontrapp, post: 1245570, member: 188149"] Two years ago my doctor said I must take statins because my HbA1C was high. I said no. 6 months ago, my HbA1C was down to normal range, but the doctor said I must take statins because my triglycerides were high. I said no. Last week my HbA1C was normal, my trigs were normal, my blood pressure was normal and my BMI was normal. The doctor said I must take statins because my LDL was too high. I asked her if the LDL particles were the healthy big and fluffy or the unhealthy small and hard, but she didn't know. I asked her how the statins worked, and she said "we don't really know". Hmmm - I think I'll give them a miss. [/QUOTE]
