[QUOTE="MikeZ, post: 1150663, member: 169115"] This is a repeat for me but here goes: 11-2014 - I had an LDL reading of 190 and was put on 40mg daily dose of Lipitor. There was NO SIGN of diabetes at this time 2-2015 - I had sugar in my urine and a subsequent Ha1C showed type 2 (9.5% USA) Over the past year I have controlled my Type 2 and I have had 6 months worth of Ha1c of 5.7%, (which is normal). I quit Metformin and Lipitor last November and just last week my LDL was at 168. My Dr. asked if I would consider resuming Lipitor and said, "no thanks!I am going to try some other routes to lowering my LDL." I will report my results here. As of right now I am not even sold that high LDL is all that bad for you. But I do believe that lower is better. [/QUOTE]
