[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 1174761, member: 209498"] Do you know what your cholesterol levels are? GPs like to put diabetics with cholesterol levels over 4 on statins. Mine was 4.7 last year. I have been on statins for seven years. I had no adverse side effects, but there are some views that statins raise bs levels. Statins are not for life once you are on them. I have recently stopped taking mine to see if my next HbA1c is lower as a result, and how my cholesterol levels change. If they go higher I can resume the statins. I did tell my GP and pharmacist that I would be doing this. [/QUOTE]
