If you have been prescribed a statin, if you take statins I have a recommendation for you. Check out "The Great Cholesterol Con" published back in 2007 by Dr. Malcolm Kendrick.

Digital Health Technologies in Diabetes Care: An Assessment Reveals Limited Clinical Benefits and Increased Costs The first assessment from the Peterson Health Technology Institute (PHTI) on digital health technologies (DHTs) for diabetes management reveals that they do not provide significant clinical benefits and contribute to increased healthcare costs. The analysis reviewed eight widely-used digital tools for monitoring blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes patients and categorized them into remote patient monitoring apps, behavioral and lifestyle modification programs, and apps for achieving nutritional ketosis. The findings demonstrate that DHTs only result in marginal reductions in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), with only three out of ten studies showing a clinically meaningful difference. The assessment did, however, show potential in Virta Health's program for achieving diabetes remission through dietary modifications. The report highlights the potential of next-generation DHTs to improve blood glucose control and suggests integrating continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and novel medications into future iterations.
