I finally caved to that pressure, due to a couple scary episodes. I now take cholesterol medication...... The thing is that there was no mention of diabetes in my check-ups until AFTER I started taking the Statin. A Google search revealed that elevated blood sugar is a known side effect of statin use, although my PCP still insists the two are not connected. Now he wants me to start taking Metformin.............
Ugh........ I don't know about all of this.
