[QUOTE="Squire Fulwood, post: 372465, member: 44622"] My doctor said that it was no good treating the diabetes without treating the blood pressure and the cholesterol so I left there with a bag of pills. At that time Metformin was the only one that seemed in any way linked to diabetes. Simvastatin was the statin at the time. Three other types were tried. A couple of years on and severe reactions to statins means that I am now classed as intolerant of them. Goody goody. In a more general sense I have a bit of difficulty when I am often given advice that is more to do with cholesterol than diabetes. In some instances the two need different foods. If I mention chips ....well I don't dare mention chips but a reasonable portion does not raise my blood sugar much. Buttered scones (real butter) are nice and I can eat them but I can't tell the nurse about it since she says I have only to eat margerine and then only a scrape because of the cholesterol implications. Neither of the diet sheets I was given had anything to do with diabetes. No I am no longer on statins. Rant over. [/QUOTE]
