[QUOTE="Halfhybrid, post: 2565122, member: 516508"] The DN asked if I was taking statins and when I said no, she asked "why not?". I responded because I did not want to be over-medicated (am already on loads) and had heard of side effects. She said she always recommends all her diabetic patients to take statins to ward off any vascular issues from developing, especially if they already have high levels of bad cholesterol. Didn't feel like I had a choice if I didn't want to jeopardise my health further. Am not testing my BS levels at the moment because it scares me too much and I have sleepless nights if it is high. Am trying hard with diet though. [/QUOTE]
