Simvastatin?6.7 - having come off the statins to see if they are causing me joint pain I am discovering that the blood glucose levels are also lower............. Will have to discuss this with my doctor as I do not know which is more important? Sugar levels or benefits of statin! (normal morning levels have been in the 8.0 region)
Hubby stopped simvastatin due to joint paints, frozen shoulder. Now he's on atora suet pudding mix..... ha ha I mean atorvastatin.@ickihun & @srobertson06 -Atorvastatin (Lipitor) that's what I am on and taken it 16 years and I have no problems with it. But, a lot of people do get problems with the Simvastatin.
How do you know what your levels are, or what foods spike you?12 last Fri. Not been told to test so won't know for another three months.
Do you have your own meter?12 last Fri. Not been told to test so won't know for another three months.
I can see the occasional 4 too @PenfoldAPD . Keep away from 3s. Your 4s might make you shaky. Have you had a hypo before?Finally .... 5.7 back in the 5s post coming off meds and getting rid of work stress - let's hope I can stay there
