[QUOTE="Fraddycat, post: 322681, member: 46145"] Hi Flashrabbit, and welcome to the forum. I take 40mg simvastatin and have done for 2 and a half years with very little side effect, when they put me up to 80mg then I had terrible aches and cramps in my legs and feet though. Has your doctor mentioned the possibility of neuropathy? I don't have this but understand that continued high BG levels can cause nerve damage which then gives pain, particularly in feet and toes. The good news is that if you can improve your levels the pain can lessen and be more manageable. When I was first diagnosed in March 2010 I did really well at controlling my BG and then fell off the waggon and went back to some of my bad habits - life got in the way. But since I found this forum in July I have found such great support, comradeship and help from likeminded people that I have managed to change my diet, reduce my BG and very recently, reduce my Metformin which I am thrilled about. You have come to the right place! [/QUOTE]
