[QUOTE="KarenAdamson, post: 1357894, member: 196746"] As usual everyone is different. I have been on a large dose (40mg) for a few years with no side affects but my Cholesterol level has dropped to 3.8. I have been a type 1 for 45 years. I asked my consultant last week if I could drop my dose to 20mg but was told that as my level was only just under 4.0 that it would be better to stay on the higher dose as 4.0 is the desired level for a Diabetic. I did learn something interesting though - I am on Simvastatin which apparently is not as powerful as the Atorvastatin that my husband takes. He also has no side affects but is a non-diabetic. I know that some people do have side affects but there's nothing to say you can't try them and then stop if you do have side affects. [/QUOTE]
