[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 84793, member: 8110"] Hi John Although simvastatin can cause muscle pains, Poor blood glucose control is another likely cause. What you wrote about your normal diet tells me you are watching out for FATS, rather than carbs. Fats don't put your BG up and you need to keep to about 5 at all times. Even the non-low carbers, still need to keep an eye on the carbs. It's even more important if you don't use medicines, because diet control is control by what you eat. I would say at the moment that you don't have control. What are your usual BGs like? and Hb A1c? Go see your doctor and tell him about that "High" and ask for more strips so you can have a week or so of [u]intensive[/u] checking to bring your numbers into the normal ( around 5) range. The traditional weight watchers diet isn't much use for BG control, since it's based on low fat/low calorie. They say they have something suitable for diabetes now, but I haven't seen it and so can't judge. You need to find the diet that suits your taste and your BG. It could be Reduced carbs, Atkins, South Beach, Protein Power or GI or Bernstein or some invention of your own. BUT you MUST get it under control, or you will pay a heavy price. [/QUOTE]
