People, have a look at the "Type 2 Diabetes" thread.
Radgirl ; Bit of a wild assertion that the answer is "Statins AND exercise". Nope. Exercise, yes. Drop weight, particularly if it has formed round the gut,drop the sugar levels, moderate the drinking (high sugar levels), control diet ; go for the "mediterranean style diet" and pleeeeeze, ditch the dreadful statins altogether. Oh, and, research showing that a starvation programme, really, absolutely nothing for one day in seven is showing signs of reversing type 2 diabetes altogether .
