I have just come back from the doctors with my latest blood results, which are worse than I feared.
The doctor has been trying me on different statins to help lower my cholesterol, which was as high. I seem to have issues with them causing side affects, so the latest one pravastatin seems to lower my cholesterol a little but from what I can see it is increasing my blood sugar levels.
In fact based on the results I have had this week, that would bare this out. My previous HB1AC reading was 51 where now this is 58.
The doctor doesn't seem to accept that it's the statin, so I thought I would ask if anyone else has had similar affect.
