[QUOTE="MAMA2X, post: 345517, member: 50134"] Hi, Just like misslottie1 I was put on statins 40mg by the doctor who said all diabetics are put on statins as a standard because of the risk of complications. I had terrible side effects aching joints and chest pain I felt very old and even found it hard to walk without pain and had previously had no problems at all with mobility I am not yet 50. When I told him of he problems he just said I will reduce the dose but keep taking them. Same thing happened so I just stopped taking them and miraculously all the pain went away. My colesterol is 4.5 which is ok in my books and the mix of good and bad is ok too. I understand we are more at risk but while I can still move and take exercise and my colesterol is ok I will resist taking them. I follow a low carb diet with some fat in meat butter cheese etc and this way of eating seems to suit me and my BG. :crazy: [/QUOTE]
