Hi! As of today, I have stopped taking simvastatin. Wanted to know what have been your cholesterol results since you stopped taking statins besides the drop in your glucose levels. thanks

Oh dear - I couldn't help myself - this just popped into my head:

This is the tale of poor Mike D
A very strange life led he:
When he was alive
He thought he'd thrive
On cyanide
- Alas he died...

But joking aside, having read right though the huge.and horrendous poll on the side effects of statins that we had a while back, I can quite see your point.

I take simvistatin. I has incredibly high cholesterol levels. They are now virtually non existant. However, I didn't know they affect blood sugar. Is this fact of opinion? Thanks

I have been on statins for sometime and I have had various side effects from various ones. The current ones are pravastatin and they seem to have help push my blood sugars up especially on a morning. I was then told by my doctor that the statins where necessary balance. Suggesting that I took them at lunch instead of at night, but this doesn't seem to have made any difference.

I eat a healthy diet and keep myself fit, most of the time my bloods are in range during the day. I have just had my latest HBA1c back and its gone up to 60, which isn't good I know, but previously I was around 48.

So something is going wrong, has anyone else had issues with pravstatin or other statins in the past or currently

Thanks in advance

D
