[QUOTE="robnewt, post: 1306877, member: 93123"] Hello Annina I started to take statins almost 2 yrs ago. I had high blood pressure and was 76 yrs at the time. Shortly after starting on statins I started to lose weight steadily and over the course of 6/8 months my weight dropped from around 11st 8lbs to below 9st. at one time. I was eventually diagnosed with type 2 and am now steady at 9st4lbs and been on insulin for about 9 months. The statins "coincided "with lower cholesterol and BP but its strange that my diabetes started shortly after I started taking statins. Some time ago I was told that I had some background retinopathy but at last visit there was no mention of retinopathy so I am assuming its OK. Best of luck [/QUOTE]
