[QUOTE="Megagem, post: 495966, member: 44550"] Type II diabetics should be aware of the problems with satin drugs used to control cholesterol levels. The British Medical Journal reported in March 2013, that statin drugs significantly increased the risk of Type II diabetes. This claim is supported by much data and a number of other research papers in the medical journals world-wide , including – JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association 2012), Journal of Investigative Medicine March 2009 to mention a few. The instruction leaflet enclosed with the tablets also suggests this could be a problem for diabetics. See also “ How statins really work - explains why they don’t” by Stephanie Seneff at MIT contact [email]snefff@csail.mit.edu[/email]. Statins interfere with liver functioning as does metformin! Perhaps I am in double jeopardy. I have now stopped taking the statins on the basis that the minor increase in risk of cardiac problems could be far outweighed by the side effects of the statin drugs. And here is a question- why should I interfere with my livers funcgtion in order to artificially control my cholesterol levels to some arbitrary level. After all cholesterol is one of the most – if not the most – important chemical in the body. It is part of the cell walls of every cell, it is important in the transport of nutrients around the body, it is important in brain functioning. It is important constituent of the myelin sheath which encloses nerve fibers. I could go on and on. Ur GP Please consult and consult your GP and question your use of statins. Do you really need them I was paced on statins ten years ago as a precaution against heart problems in the misguided belief that lowering my cholesterol levels would be a “good” idea even though my cholesterol levels were not excessive. This was many years before I was diagnosed with type II diabetes. I am still waiting for my GP to warn me of the problem. [/QUOTE]
