[QUOTE="Daphne917, post: 784831, member: 124172"] Hi I was put onto Pravostatin "because every diabetic should take statins" with a cholesterol fig of 5.4 and BG of 5.7. Whilst it bought my cholesterol down to 3.2 my BS rose to 7.2. I came off the statins due to having dizzy spells and my latest hba1c was 42 and cholesterol 4.2. On the drug manufacturers own website it warns that they will cause an increase in BS for some people which my DN at the time dismissed as being nonsense but I will not risk going on to statins again.
