[QUOTE="AlanWatson1958, post: 400939, member: 75893"] Thanks for the comments and encouragement. I am abroad at the moment, with my wife who is Taiwanese. I will have the tests done in the Taiwanese health system, in a big hospital - even if it means that I have to test my assertiveness and my Chinese skills to the limit. I know the research about statins, and it is very worrying that they not only have these side effects, but also have no proven ability to save lives at all in people like me who have not already had a heart attack or stroke. On the other hand, experts at the Brompton Hospital in London say that they are good for my Syndrome X as well as cholesterol management. I will discuss switching from Avortastatin to Pravastatin, which led to fewer incidences of diabetes in a very big Canadian study. Otherwise, it is over to the blood sugar monitor to check the effects of different types/quantities of food. As an aside, I understand that some 80% of people are either overweight or obese when first diagnosed with diabetes. 100% of the advice on all the web sites that I can find seems to be aimed at this 80%. It would be nice if the remaining 20% of us could get at least 5% of the advice on offer. Good luck to everyone posting here. Alan [/QUOTE]
