Statins
Hi!!
I've just finished reading TSP, and it makes very good sense to me. I've been on a lc WOE on/off for three years, and was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic one year ago.
My question has to do with the Statin drugs. My cholesterol is slightly elevated (with a lower HDL than normal), and my physician wants me to take a Statin. TSP supports the use of no drugs, and I agree. This may be a battle with my physician, since I told her 3 months ago I would try my diet, and would take the Statin if she still thinks it's needed. After reading TSP and the views she has on Statins, I am more determined than ever not to take the drug.
Anyone have experience with Statin drugs to lower cholesterol?
