Sowbagyavathy VR, Greetings. You may not get out of the regime of tablets altogether. But you can very well cut down the dosage or do away with one of the tablets ( Atrovastatin is only 5 mg. not a very big dose anyway). You may like to follow Sowbagyavathy Renuka's suggestions. For hummus you may use our humble chicpeas too. But use it with the skin ( chicpeas is much better than split peas). If you have to eat white rice, get the basmati rice with low GI ( certified). It comes with a capital "G" displayed, (printed on the bag) in a circle in Australia; i don't know about India though. When you wish to reduce your tablets intake after altering your life styles, altering right kind of diet, then let you doctor know of your intentions. Regulary record your BSL values before and after food atleast two weeks after reducing your tablets. if everything works out well, then your doctor may change your regime and closely monitor. My wife slashed 50 % of her tablet's intake by diet control and regular exercises. Good luck to you. Cheers!
