Sorry its long but......Back to February 2017 my overall cholesterol was 6.0.  But it was a good cholesterol i had?! I was told it should be below 5. So doctor put me on statins.i unknowing just took them.  Up to this point i was feeling fine. No health issues(was at doc for general checkup) after I started taking them everything started going wrong Diagnosed with diabetes in april 2017 (type2 is a side effect of statins along with elevated blood sugars) now im out of work and off the road with all the side effects. I stopped taking them last week and starting to feel a little better but it takes minimum of 6months to get them out of your system. It wasn’t my doctor who advised this but someone else who had similar issues(doc agreed for me to stop taking them though) So imho just eat healthy (as much as you can) and try not go on statins.</p></blockquote><p></p>
