[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1311999, member: 211362"] I'm just wondering why your doc would want you to take a statin to manage blood pressure? Do you mean BP meds? or do you have high cholesterol? I'm on both BP meds and a statin to control my cholesterol level. If you're referring to meds to control your BP then I can't see how that would affect your sugar levels... other than if you get hypos some of the drugs can make it hard for you to tell apparently (so my doc says). I'm on ramipril for BP. I'm also on nifedipine for spasms along with some other meds but that drug is also used to control BP as well. I take lipitor for my cholesterol and I'm fine on it. I wish you the best. :) [/QUOTE]
