Just an update from me, on another thread I mentioned that my doc had prescribed me the statin crestor due to the fact that my bad cholesterol was elevated– now not too much but it was higher than it should have been. I started taking the crestor 20 mg once a day something like 5 days ago. I will let everyone know after i get my bloodwork done in January whether it has helped or not. As far as side effects I have not had any. At the same time the doc put me on crestor, he put me on lisinopril because he said that all of his diabetics are on it since it helps the kidneys… it is a high blood pressure med but my blood pressure is fine- gave me a very low dose. Hope everyone is doing alright and your numbers are recovered from the holiday eating 😀 Ill get back with you on those results in January
