[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1960888, member: 94045"] Doctors tend to prescribe statins to all diabetics whether they need them or not. I suggest you find out what your last cholesterol results were, including the lipid breakdown (HDL, LDL, and triglycerides) These will be on a print out along with your blood glucose results and any other tests they did. It is essential you know what all these are, then you can make up your own mind about whether you need statins or not. Personally I would never take them. I agree with what the others have said about your bread. Unless you test before and after eating this and find your levels haven't risen much, it would be wise to swap the toast for something with far less carbs in it. How about eggs and bacon? Or a full fat yogurt? [/QUOTE]
