Stopped the statins again in februari, I think (practice nurse not happy but agreed I could try for a couple of months to see what happened).What happened shows very clear on my total cholesterol graph. It went up a bit after the steep drop from the statins and then slowly dropped further, together with my hba1c.Diet wise, I eat much less carbs and fairly more fats than at diagnosis, I'm pretty sure the change in lipids is due to lowering my blood glucose.The only medication I use is insulin, enalapril (ACE inhibitor for blood pressure) and vitamin D.The graph stops in 2019 because of covid, will have my first blood draw in two years tomorrow! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />total cholesterol:[ATTACH=full]51539[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
