Gout is very painful. Hope it settles soon.

Hi Kentoldlady1 it's settling quite well at the moment the doctor said to stop the tablets for now and see how it goes,thanks for your kind message. I've been put on Atorvastatin 20 mg once a day for my cholesterol it's 7.5 before starting the LCHF diet on and off for last 18 months it was 4.5. So need to go to low fat low protein diet to see if it comes down.K

Its quite a tightrope to walk when you have more than one diagnosis, isn't it? Just when I think I have found the perfect diet for one thing something else pops up. But all taken together I shouldnt complain. I am very lucky in that I ( hopefully ) will still be here tomorrow, have access to health services and can afford to eat well. Mind you, that doesn't stop me moaning to anyone unlucky enough to stand still for 5 minutes.
Good luck with thenew diet.x

Good morning everyone
BG this morning 6.4 @ 4.15am
Then BG @ 10.15 6.3
My BG usually drops lower than this during morning has I don't eat till around 12lunchtime, the Atorvastatin I have just stated on Friday for cholesterol says this meds can raise BG levels for diabetics.
Has anyone else had this happen on this meds? K

I was sort of tossing and turning last night too. The worst is when you have to be somewhere in the morning.

Thank you Diabeticliberty. Not had cholesterol meds for years just been diet controlled hate taking meds but I told doctor I would agree to take them Has cholesterol has raised each year so I will see how things go with them, do you know if I should take them with food been taking them last couple of days on empty stomach unsure if this is right doctor didn't say anything about it.
