My Cholesterol has been normal for most of that time, but the doctor is reluctant to stop them. Apparently, due to my diabetes (well controlled) I am at a higher risk of a heart event, despite normal blood pressure and no history whatsoever. I have taken the advice, but the cocktail of medications now taken for diabetes, prostate, cholesterol and allergies makes it like a second breakfast. And having to take diabetes meds three times a day is impossible for me to keep up. I forget to take them, forget to take them out with me if I am eating out. So, all three are gulped down as a time and I haven't detected any adverse results from it. It's a pain, but I'm thankful for the health service interventions and my age, which makes the prescriptions free (although diabetic meds are free, whatever your age).UKViewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114944341930758335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137857716187567509.post-45277793994596473342016-09-09T00:03:16.652-07:002016-09-09T00:03:16.652-07:00The two comments above have appeared is if by magi...The two comments above have appeared is if by magic....I can only assume that I have said all this before. <br />Weird!
