[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1414869, member: 245335"] Although diabetics are routinely prescribed statins I would suggest that they are really for lowering cholesterol, not for lowering BG. In fact there seems to be a connection between statins and the onset of diabetes. Something from the Mayo Clinic - [I]It's possible your blood sugar (blood glucose) level may increase when you take a [B]statin[/B], which may lead to developing [B]type 2 diabetes[/B]. The risk is small but important enough that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning on [B]statin[/B] labels regarding blood glucose levels and [B]diabetes[/B].[/I] Now you can tell your doctor why statins cause muscle pain, it's the lack of CoQ10 and Merck Pharmaceutical had worked that out in 1990 ([URL]http://www.functionalmedicineuniversity.com/statin-CoQ10.pdf[/URL]). Lowering carbs seems to work for people and well done on the weight loss, hopefully your BG and Total Cholesterol will both be lower than last time. Personally, although lower carbs has worked well for 3 or so years, my body seems to be doing a very good job of converting protein into glucose so I'm now having to add Januvia to my list of meds, not happy, but can't stop my body from doing what it's doing. I haven't given up and still looking for a drug free solution. Hope the next GP visit goes well [/QUOTE]
