Message: <blockquote data-quote="Old’un" data-source="post: 2582991" data-attributes="member: 567096">Yes, one of the side effects of statins is that they elevate blood sugar levels so that must surely go towards negating any potential benefits from taking the drug. I do wonder though how much good statins actually do and refuse them point blank after my experience of trying them for a month. (I have posted already about that.) A while back I was told that giving all diabetics aspirin was the way forward but then they shelved that idea when it was seen to do more harm than good.Further back in time the medical profession sung the praises of Thalidomide and before that they advocated smoking menthol cigarettes for asthma! The bottom line is they don’t know what is good and what is bad so they use us as guinea pigs and we accept it at our peril.Our bodies need cholesterol for a variety of purposes, synthesising hormones, transporting essential nutrients, repair processes, and reducing levels that are already well within a normal range, as mine are, must surely be detrimental to those functions.</blockquote>
