My total cholesterol is 154 and all the other #'s looked good(simvastatin doing the job).....bad news is that my Hemo A1c is 6.6.....> or =6.5 consistent with diabetes:....yikes.....got to give up my regular cokes(4-5 a day).....crystal light with splenda here I come.....knew this day was coming....weighed 225lbs....I bet if I lost 30lbs or more, I might be able to stop having to take acid reflux pill and simvastatin for cholesterol ....and avoid taking pills for diabetes ....  |

Knock the soda on the head completely. They all suck, diet or otherwise. Read a label to see what crap you are sucking up. If you were drinking 4 or 5 a day that's a MOUNTAIN of sugar a year and a lake of caffeine. http://www.sugarstacks.com/beverages.htmhttp://www.webmd.com/diet/news/20050613/drink-more-diet-soda-gain-more-weightYeah yeah I know I'm a kill joy. And NO MORE Tiger burgers!!! Get that bicycle out. I started riding again about 4 months ago and now I ride about 50 or 60 miles a week on the local Greenway. Wet days I still go weight lifting. Still a fat bastid but feel better doing some aerobic excercise. EDIT NO SWEET TEA EITHER. |

Stanley.... got some of the same issues with Cholesterol, but those statins (and weight) have increased my sugar levels... statins are known to do that (Google it). cursed if you do, cursed if you don't..... My Dr recently took me off Simvastatin (was on Mevacor (aka Lovastatin) before as well) and put me on Crestor (Rouvastatin) so we shall see if that helps. But, I am now taking Metformin for the sugar..... I also take an acid reflux pill periodically, not good to take all the time they say. Oh and don't forget the low dose asprin daily. I agree... lowering the weight and some exercise will help with the Cholesterol/Blood Sugar and quite possibly the acid reflux. Good luck... |

Took all of the Cholesterol pills. Keep a eye on your liver enzymes. All made mine high and muscle aches. If start itching your enzymes are high. Not good for the liver. I now take Welchol. Is not a statin. Seems to work o.k.

That very thought crossed my mind......I don't think I have to give EVERY thing up, just cut back on some things and maybe try to cut OUT a couple of things.....on the plus side, losing some weight would be beneficial in really getting my groove on!!.....  OH.....I'd like at least another 41 years or so......but at the pace I am going now, that'd be doubtful |

statins destroy your liver. been proven plus other destruction avenues in the body. cholesterol is not the problem, they have been telling a lie for decades, to sell drugs, to help lower births, yes lower cholesterol lowers sperm count, (but don't worry they have drugs for both sexes to sell to u to increase pregancy chances) because testerone and other hormones are made from it. It has also been proven that cholesterol is the most powerful anti-oxident in the body. the reason it goes higher the older we get is to keep us alive and to help keep hormone levels up. too many lipids are the problem http://www.lipidcenter.com/the problems are too much sugar in the diet including wheat products. Gluten is a big problem. both cause an insulin spike. insulin is the most powerful anabolic hormone in the body. when it spikes and too much at once and it scratches/scars the arterties. these scratches are patched like a scab with cholesterol. so high sugar or high glycemic foods spike the insulin. high cholesterol is the end result. high cholesterol keeps one healthy by many avenues in the body. just research it and not the drug company propaganda and certainly don't listen the drug pushers with an MD after their name. all of the above can be found on the web along with the docemented medical research papers/test etc. one such site http://www.healthyeatingwisdom.com/cholesterolbenefits/Hosea 4:6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. |

I cut out my simvastatin after talking to guys at Inzane and I can ride now, I couldn't go 1 tank without being cramped and crippled. my cholrl was down to 87
I always thought shrimp was the good chlorles. ?
I got up one monday morning and could not read, blured vision. Diabetes over night showed up. I'm sure splenda is going to do me in now.
Before you are officially diagnosed get more life insurance

how come my grand father never went to the doctor, and he lived to be 92?? sure, he didn't have a clue that he was that old, or that he was old, or even alive, but he did live to be that old my wife works for Mayo clinic, you'd be amazed at what some people go to the doctors for. |

Green Tea.
Green Tea.
Sweetener is honey.
Lemon, cut from whole lemons.
Water with lemon.
Then some more geen tea.
Hot green tea is good as well.
These are all antioxidents.
That will help you kick the meds.
Worked for me, and yes I use the crystal light, Cherry Pomegranate, that is a very powerful antioxident.
You are rusting Stanley that is all.

That would be great if uncontrolled diabetes just took you out real quick. You have to watch what you eat and control your glucose level to have no problems. |
