High cholesterol despite other positives

[weee]

So I reversed my type 2 diabetes ..HbA1c now 41 from 70, I lost 2 stone in weight and am no longer overweight, liver function tests all back to normal and I exercise REGULARLY..

And yet my cholesterol is still 8 (HDL 1.6 and ratio 5)

So am not happy.. The diabetic nurse urged me to go back on statins ..Although I hate them..

You worked hard to bring down HbA1c from 70 to 40, very good.

Now cholesterol can be difficult. Ask you GP for a risk analysis with your blood test numbers and see how he comes up with an explanation.

Continue with your life style change, delay cholesterol medication for a while.
