When I mentioned to my DN that there was a correlation between increased BS and statins she told me not to believe everything I read in the Daily Mail - her face was a picture when I told her it was from the drug companies own web site! I also had other side effects which was why I stopped taking them - with my GP’s consent.This one of the reasons I worry about taking statins but my Doctor dismisses statins making blood sugars worse.
Probably based on research where everyone was gradually getting sicker on meds and carbs though! Interested to see if that’s not the caseThey don't take control into account. Apparently it makes little difference. Diabetics are prone to Atherogenic Dyslipidemia. I'll try and find the reference later when I get a spare nanosecond.

This was my experience too. I went from 36 to 41. I lowered my carb intake further and have settled to around an average of 38. I'm only on 2.5mg but the reduction in cholesterol levels in my case seems worthwhile. All a juggling act. I'd rather not take them but so far the benefits outweigh the downside.
