The reasoning that I have been given is that diabetics are recommended to take statins is that they also protect the kidneys. My LDL and HDL levels were good but my doc wants me on them anyway.
I stopped taking the Simvastatin and the pains went away. I was then prescribed Lovastatin and the same pains came back after two days. I've told my doc that I do not want to try another statin. I'll take the risks.
