Elle - they didn't, perchance, prescribe you with Statins at the same time as telling you that you had Diabetes, did they?
Hi trophywench. Oh wow. My GP tried to do that with me, she tried to tell me that I had high cholesterol and she wanted to put me on a statin. Statins are evil!!!! They nearly killed my mother!! I will not take statins if I can manage it. I told her under no circumstances, No. I had to get a repeat prescription of Ramipril and she wanted to give me diabetes tablets (she didn't mention which ones but my guess is Metformin) and then a statin for cholesterol. No thanks. I'll take my chance with diet and exercise, but like everyone else on here, I am struggling to find out what I can/cannot
should/should not eat. :(
