[QUOTE="Daphne917, post: 2273053, member: 124172"] Unfortunately that’s not necessarily true. I was prescribed statins because ‘every diabetic should take them’ which I naively did and my hba1c rose from 48 to 54. I told my nurse that I’d read there was a correlation between an increase in BS and statins she told me not to believe everything I read in the Daily Mail - her face was a picture when I said I got it from the manufacturers website! I came off them, with my doctor’s consent, due to other side effects and my hba1c has been in normal levels since. I now refuse to take them and my current GP has put ‘statin intolerant’ on my records as we don’t want to take the risk of it happening again. [USER=521988]@Amycav85[/USER] all I can advise is research before taking them - it is up to you whether you take them or not but at least you can make an informed decision. [/QUOTE]
