[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2087798, member: 468714"] Hi again [USER=507764]@Douglasw[/USER], It sounds like you are still struggling a bit. From my reading and personal experience as a TID, not as health professional advice or opinion: And if your doctor is talking about statins then you have probably had blood tests recently. First: could you tell us what your good and bad days are like? What your blood sugar levels ( bsls) are like on each type of day and what your insulin doses, types and food choices are? Stains are drugs to lower cholesterol levels. They cause side effects in quite a few people. i have read that in drug trials the drug companies, or their investigators, remove people who have side effects at the 'lead-in' phase of the trial if side effects happen to them so that the side-effect numbers reported at the end of the trials are lower than is the truth. Your doctor may not be aware of this. There is a lot of controversy over cholesterol as none of the trials have proven that high cholesterol causes heart disease. But it is known that keeping blood sugar levels at as close to non-diabetic levels as possible is important in preventing all diabetes complications including heart disease and with the corect diet, insulin management and lifestyle this level of bsl control has been proven to be achievable for many TIDs. Looking forward to hearing more about your health and diabetes. Best Wishes:):):) [/QUOTE]
