[QUOTE="Indy51, post: 322670, member: 48386"] You don't say which medications you are on, but the muscular aches and pains sound suspiciously like the side effects of taking a statin. That's one possibility. Tendon issues are very common in diabetics with high BG levels - the pain may lessen once you get your BG levels under control again. Dr Bernstein writes about some of the common complications here: [url=http://www.diabetes-book.com/articles/bernstein.pdf]http://www.diabetes-book.com/articles/bernstein.pdf[/url] Another suspect in my mind would be gluten sensitivity (not necessarily full-blown coeliac disease) - many people experience a huge relief from various bodily aches and pains by eliminating wheat from their diets. It might be worthwhile trying. Here is an article about it and some of the comments are eye-opening as to the side effects wheat can cause: [url=http://www.marksdailyapple.com/how-common-is-gluten-sensitivity/#axzz2ANHrbmGq]http://www.marksdailyapple.com/how-comm ... z2ANHrbmGq[/url] All the best and welcome to the forum, [/QUOTE]
