[QUOTE="R.J.Burgess, post: 1447085, member: 397186"] I'm pensioner living alone diagnosed Type 2 and expected to manage my diabetes through diet and exercise without a diet or an exercise program a blood test every couple of months and an annual eye check. I know I'm not the only one put on statins without warning of dementia. like side effects. Sometimes I get confused, sometimes my memory gives me problems and when I can, I consider maybe its my sugar balance, which of course I'm not trained or expected to measure. Prescribed Atorvastatin which whilst I still have a mind, I don't want to take, along with Metformin, which I read also increases the chances of dementia. Cant speak highly enough with regards NHS treatment for diabetics [/QUOTE]
