Would stopping my 20mg daily intake of Atorvastatin lower my BG?

[QUOTE="izzy, post: 548792, member: 19063"] It was about 2 weeks+/- a couple of days, that his Bg's dropped to single figures. Since statins (as I understand, need to accumulate in the bodys system) this length of time before noticing any difference seems about right to me. His cholesterol levels prior to stopping simvastatin was 3.9.. It will be interesting to see what his level is now as his diet has not changed. He admits to feeling better in himself and the effects neuropathy in his feet has lessened since his sugars have dropped. This week his readings(and this is the early morning one) started the week at 7.4. with a tea time reading of around 9 and have remained static around that point. If this continues for the rest of the week, he is considering reducing insulin again next Monday and this will be the 3rd reduction since stopping the simvastatin. This is a real change for him as his readings were regularly in the double figures ranges. Since he has not changed anything except the cessation of the Simvastatin , we can only attribute the lower BG reading to this. Hope this helps....... [/QUOTE]
