I take Pravachol. Are you eliminating this statin on your own advice? I
say this because cholesterol is an important issue for diabetics,
possibly as important as blood glucose levels. Will you be taking
another statin in its place?

A cardiologist at a recent DM support group meeting said flatly, "All
diabetics should be taking a statin."

One thing I know about my morning readings is their variability. They
will remain at one level for a week or two and then change to a new
range and stay there for a week or two before changing again.

I really don't think it could be healthy for my LDL to be 29.

A stain is what happens when spell check gets a hold of statin or Monica
