[QUOTE="Kathleen Mc, post: 148016, member: 21300"] [b]Re: statins[/b] I have been told that my cholesterol levels are too high for my type 1 diabetes and have to take a statin medication. not sure of the exact one til i collect it tomorrow. the doctor told me that the side effects could be any of the following: muscle pain, joint pain, sleeping disorders and weight gain. he also told me to inform the doctor if i experience any of them. i was told my cholesterol was too high back in april but hte dod didn't want to put me on statins because of my age (36) and wanted to see if htey came down with the other meds I was put on (thyroid). I decided to take benecol to see if that made any difference. so, after 3.5 months on the benecol, my levels went down 0.1!!!! what a waste of money!!! can anyone tell me what the acceptable levels of cholesterol are for type 1 diabetes sufferers?
