You don't have to take anything you don't want. Find either a Naturopath, Integrative Medicine or Functional Doctor. I don't take any prescription medications and have only use Naturopathic Doctor or Integrative Medicine doctor. If you have high blood sugar then you can try Keto and/or Intermittent Fasting. Many people have lowered their blood sugar doing that.
A good book on cholesterol is "The Great Cholesterol Myth, Revised and Expanded: Why Lowering Your Cholesterol Won't Prevent Heart Disease--and the Statin-Free Plan that Will"
Dealing with that with hubby. Doctor is reasonable though. Husband sugar was in the 200s and doctor wanted to place him on meds.
I talked to the doctor about changing his diet as we were already losing pounds and eating healthier ...he agreed and we are doing Atkins and his sugar has went down and he is now considered pre diabetic in just a months time. Few more months and we hope for him to be normal.
Good luck and talk to your doctor, they aren't all bad.
That is very interesting! Thanks Fren for the info ... of course they would keep this from the people, how else would pharma be able to make money. Pure bullshit.
"High cholesterol" is a sham used to just sell harmful pills. Check out a reply I made to someone else in this discussion topic for more info.

You have the option to refuse the medications.
When they ask why, you can say you're getting a higher commission fee not to take it than they're getting to prescribe it.
