New research finds an elevated risk of type 2 diabetes among people who take statins in an effort to lower their cholesterol levels.
Among statins' unwanted effects may be an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, new research suggests. Many people take statins to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as coronary heart disease and heart attacks. In the United States, about 83% of people between

Question about yeast/candida on skin
Hi, ladies! :) I’ve been dealing with a bad flare-up of candida (yeast) on the skin ever since summer hit. This Midwest heat is too much for my curves! 😩😂 So a little info: I’m plus-size. Nothing out of control, but definitely overweight. I sweat easily. I’ve dealt with this before under the abdomen

Statins cause heart failure
I just read a link on one of the posts about statins quoting a report from 2015 and published in the Clinical review of Pharmacology . It states that statins can cause heart failure by damaging the heart muscle. Does anyone know if this is true as it's very concerning if it is.

Statins And Fake News
I saw the following article is Cardiovascular Business today. It seems that up to 1 in 3 may not be taking their prescribed statins because of the negativity around statins in the media and elsewhere. As a result many people may be shortening their lives. It is compared to the issue around vaccinations

Alternatives to Statins
Ezetimibe is a tablet that lowers cholesterol. It may be prescribed if statins cannot be taken, or alongside a statin for extra cholesterol-lowering. It’s a ‘cholesterol absorption inhibitor’ that limits the absorption of cholesterol in the small intestine. As a result, less cholesterol is taken to the

Leg pain with other than statins and other meds.
After quitting statins because of severe leg pain I went to Welchol and had the same problem. I then went to the injection method with Repatha now, after six weeks it appears my leg pain is returning with a vengeance. (Leg pain did go away after quitting the other drugs). I'm at a loss as it appears

Statin Dilemma
I am a 61 year old woman; I was diagnosed with high cholesterol two and a half years ago. I had that appointment at the Lipid Clinic, and was advised to start a small dose of Statins, Simvastatin. At that time I refused to take the statins and was left to be reviewed at a later date. I was told that

Nagging doctors.
I recently had my annual blood test to check cholesterol and thyroid hormones, and surprise, surprise, I`ve had a text from my gp`s surgery asking me to make an appointment to discuss the results. I know from experience what happens next. I`m going to be told that my cholesterol is too high and that

Post stent drugs
Hi I had a stent after a mild heart attack and was put on six drugs including statins at a level of 80, 2 blood thinners and a beta blocker and an aspirin. I stopped one blood thinner Rampiril because of the cough. I have been told that this bombing with drugs is normal. So far no side effects with the

medication can give you more problems
I am very concerned that not enough caution is given by doctors when prescribing medication with statins and blood pressure tablets in my case I have had a bad experience with raised GGT and have to keep insisting on blood tests to check if meds are having an effect and I worry how many people are medicated
