Message: <blockquote data-quote="clare56" data-source="post: 2607841" data-attributes="member: 282281">Has anyone else with high cholesterol switched to Bempedoic acid instead of a statin (Atorvastatin in my case)?I was very reluctant to start taking statins as I’d heard they can worsen diabetes, and this seemed to be reflected in my blood tests 3 months after reluctantly agreeing to take Atorvastatin. I started taking Bempedoic acid /ezetimine instead, about 2 months ago and have just put on a cgm to see how things are going. My blood sugar levels have dropped by quite a lot ( a base line around 6 rather than 7.5) and the spikes are much reduced. (Rarely over 9). I’m very pleased, but wondering if others have had this experience. [ATTACH=full]60902[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]60903[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
