That, and the insulin-resistant type-3 diabetes (someone else already mentioned this in a comment) theory make a lot of sense. Sometimes, there’s just no good reason though. My mother was 100% healthy. No medications at all. She did lots of physical work every day, was at a perfect weight, strong as a horse. She could have eaten better - she loved her carbs - but she was an extremely healthy elderly lady. Given the strong genetic link in my family (mother, grandfather, uncle, others?), I’m passionately interested in minimizing my own risk, so I thank you for the reminder about statins! I try to limit carbs and my cholesterol is high, but it’s because the ‘good’ kind is high, and my doctor is smart enough to know I’m not interested in taking meds to reach some imaginary “ideal” number. I’ve added exogenous ketones too - to make sure my brain has the fuel it needs. Other than that, I just cross my fingers and pray I’m spared! Still, it would be nice to know what they’ve given JB these last few years to keep him on his feet…
