After being diagnosed with T2D in January, I have been diligently pursuing a glucose-reducing regimen. My diligence, as well as Doctor Peterson's efforts, seem to be paying off. On February 20th, upon Doctor Peterson's suggestion, I agreed to increase my Metformin medication to lower my sugar levels and to double the Statin meds to lower my cholesterol levels.
Researching and discovering that Statins may be affecting my blood glucose negatively, I then reversed course and decided to cut/eliminate (at least temporarily) the Statin medication. Eliminating the Statin meds and increasing the Metformin seem to be helping to lower my blood glucose consistently over the past 11 days!
This morning, my blood glucose level measured 106 mg/dl
The plan is to continue avoiding Statins and to concentrate more on dietary restrictions and exercise to keep my cholesterol numbers in an ideal range. I plan to have my blood cholesterol levels rechecked in April and will decide where to go with Statin medication at that point.
