heart failure and type 2 diabetes.
Stage 3 kidney disease, diagnosed June ‘23, I cannot tolerate
statins
as they send my blood Glucose levels into overdrive, most recently last June. The Doctor wanted to give me metformin but I declined for now as I know the side effects are unpleasant.

Hello, Thank you and does this sound familiar to anyone?
I’m no longer overweight, but have tipped into pre-diabetic, I believe due to the
statins
, as my chocolate consumption is now zero and I rarely indulge in cake or biscuits. I have become a bit obsessive on what I should and shouldn’t eat, as well as how much exercise I am doing.

LDL analysis testing
My cardiac rehab team said that I may not even need
Statins
as it depends what fats are in the LDL. There is a blood teat for this but they didn’t know if it was available on the NHS. The GP wasn’t aware of the test either. I think it is called a LDL particle test.

getting older
Is there an alternative to
statins
. I also have an under active thyroid and take thyroxine, I have read that an active thyroid makes cholesterol higher, but is that the case if it’s controlled by medication.

Reducing cholesterol
I’ve been told I can have
statins
, which I agreed to take, with much regret, because they are powerful drugs and I’m already taking Warfarin and Bisoprolol, and
statins
do have an effect on these.

statin side effects
But I assume that i need
statins
as I don’t think that I will be able to maintain a LDL of below 1.8 without them. Does anyone have ideas on what statin causes the least muscle pain please.

Gp denial
I SAW ONE OF MY GPS YESTERDAY CONCERNING MEDICATION FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE recom by my renal clinic, when asked about statin medication he denied that
statins
raised blood sugars, he seems either he lied to me, or is not looking at information about statin drugs

Drinking alcohol
I'm on heart meds/
statins
. My question is should I be drinking for 14 days . I do drink but about once a week . To break even I would have to have at least 5 alcoholic drinks a day. My husband is also on blood pressure pills. Advice would be Welcome

Statins/PMR
I'm sure I have read on here about
statins
causing increase in symptoms of PMR but my GP wasn't having it?

reducing atorvastatin
My cholesterol is only 3.5, but I do have serious plaque and calcium biuld up in three arteries, and although
statins
won't reduce it, they are supposed to stabilise it long term.

Cholesterol and CLL
I said I preferred to try to bring it down myself rather than with medication (and my intent here is not to start a debate on
statins
- I just prefer a natural approach when possible!)

Low statin dose increased lipoprotein a significantly
I have elevated lipoprotein a [lp(a)] and elevated cholesterol levels, am 70 years old and have a coronary artery calcium [CAC] score of 0 (or did before I started
statins
a short while ago). I just learned about the lp(a) level around 18 months ago.
