I have been taking statins for over 20 years I had a triple bypass 5 years ago and in March I was told I was type 2 diabetic with a HbA1c of 48 Having brought a meter I find my waking gl is always over 6 .0 upto 6.8 whilst I do not seem to get Spikes after sensible meals highest I found was 8.8 even after two weeks of a low carb diet (less than 75 grms a day ) my fasting or waking gl has not changed so is it just a side effect of the statins Plus insomnia or is some form of insulin problem
