[QUOTE="AliCat63, post: 1001215, member: 210111"] I am 52 and have been on statins for nearly 2 years now but it was prescribed because I had raised cholesterol levels and a family history that put me at risk, they were also prescribed before they discovered I was T2. I did suffer from leg cramps after about 3 or 4 weeks and was pre-advised by the specialist that if this was to happen to come of the tablets for 2 - 3 weeks and try again which I did and I have not had any problems since. I know of other people who cannot take statins because of side effects, but there are several different statins so it could just be trial and error getting the right one. [/QUOTE]
