[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1358073, member: 41816"] I am so sorry to read this. You (like millions of people on statins) increase their chance of diabetes by just taking the tablets. I fell into the same trap myself a few years ago. With me, I just assumed that despite being very high risk of D (due to PCOS and a medication that I am on for another health condition) that my doc would adequately monitor my pre-D status. I was very wrong. Consequently I now double check everything. Every drug. Every contraindication. Every potential drug interaction. I check how often I should get checkups, and blood tests, and monitor everything myself. I certainly don't trust that sporadic spot checks and rushed appointments will give me all the info I need. Sad to say, we all need to do this ourselves, for EVERYTHING. And that includes scrutinising the leaflet that comes inside the box of tablets, and then re-reading it occasionally, in case our circumstances, or the leaflet, have changed. [/QUOTE]
