Hi Everyone
It looks very much as though the majority issue I have is taking Atorvastatin, not my diet. I stopped taking this statin about a month ago. Since then my Blood Glucose levels have dropped by over 10% notionally bringing me back to not being pre-diabetic. The full story is on the Diabetes Discussion Forum/Board. Thread Title: "Drugs raising BG" Please, I would love to hear from anyone else who could be in a similar position. Notionally, this could be many of those on the first thread of this Board/Forum who mostly appear to be just marginally over the HbA1c limit. Statins also interact with anxiety meds such as Paroxetine and can cause insulin to be inhibited in some people. Depending on the initial feed back I will consider starting a proper survey. At present heart medications and anxiety type meds may affect people to different extents. If you are on different meds from me but of a similar type you may still be being affected. However, although it probably does not need saying, but please do not make any changes to your prescribed meds without checking with your GP/consultant first. |
