    Thanks for this. My numbers before statins were between 6-9 with a number of mornings around 10. Is metformin something I should listen to them about. ? Got me thinking now if any of there “advise” is actually founded or if they are just reading the checklist.

    atorvastatin and BG

    It feels like a bit of a down hill battle on this. Take statins as cholesterol ratio not good. Now they are recommending I go on metformin to reduce BG levels.

    atorvastatin and BG

    I’ve been T2 for 5 years and have been able to control mainly with low carb. I recently got prescribed atorvastatin and it seems to have had an impact. Used to be around 9 ish first thing in morning as I tend to get dawn syndrome effect. Then 6-8 during the say. But currently keep getting...
