[QUOTE="benniesmum, post: 147966, member: 13738"] [b]Re: statins[/b] I started on Simvastatin a couple of months ago, and got such severe muscle pains that my doc switched me to Pravastatin. Not so bad, but my blood sugar has gone up. I've upped my CoQ10 but so far no effect. Annoying, because my blood sugar went down when I started taking it last year. I've read that coQ10 can get depleted on statins, but how much and on what dose? My Doc didn't know and was dubious about it. I have a blood test in a couple of weeks to see of the Statin has brought down my Cholesterol. Although as it's currently 4.8 it wasn't that high to begin with! My LDL v. HDL was not so good last year though. Unfortunately my Doc didn't check the LDL/HDL ratio at this years annual blood test, so I've no idea if my revised diet has helped this. [/QUOTE]
