Diabetes and cholesterol pill

Good night.

I am type 1 diabetics since the age of 12.Now I have 41.

I have not had complications so far.And my current hemoglobin is 7.

My endocrine tells me today that I have good general analytics.All within normal.

But that with 41 years and so many with diabetes I already put a pill for life for cholesterol (right now I do not have it out of normal values), but says it is for prevention of future problems, heart attacks etc.

I need opinion please.

I do not understand whether or not I have that pill early.

Thank you.

Good, I have 44 and something similar happens to me.And I take the pill.Apparently with diabetes you have to have greater cholesterol control and the best limits, they also put it to prevent.I don't think it's a consequence of diabetes.I don't know, I don't see a problem the truth.

Thank you very much Javier.

I took atorvastatin, but I read that I had beastly side effects, so I put on exercising and something, not much of diet and it turns out that I have the same values ​​as with the pill, an eye speak very badly of vastatins and cholesterol and triglyceridesThey are very grateful when you do the minimum to fight them, it shows

Well, another here, with 35 years that when changing residence and endocrine, as he saw me he told me to take simvastatin for the same ... I am not taking it and neither advise it nor the opposite but to a personal title it isthat I am remote to me until I take an ibuprofen ... the less medication the better ...

If cholesterol goes up .. I would look much earlier before and improve the diet to be taking pills.

Statins can give side effects but cholesterol must be well controlled in diabetic people.Especially in diabetes 2. If you have it high it is important to download.

That does not doubt anyone, but that cholesterol is easy to reduce with a little exercise and diet and we know something about that

In my case the exercise and diet do not matter, it is family hypercholestemia ... that is, genetics, and I can eat only green that I have it in the clouds if I do not do not medical

That is the excuse that I put, cholesterol through the clouds, triglycerides and hypertension, all inherited from my parents, since weight 68.5 and I measure 1.75.But I insist exercise and diet and overcome one the family inheritance without pills :);)

Thank you very much for your comments.

It does not always defeat with sport, you need food discipline and that your body allows you to reach the optimal levels.Either through statins or another medication if you are not able for yourself.Age, tension, hypercholesterolemia and other factors facilitate the generation of cardiovascular problems.Diabetes is certainly another factor.I do sports 1 hour daily as well as walking.I measure 1.78 and weight 69 kilos and I have an angina in chest and two stents.It is true that I smoked and I am not an expert but I have to reach the figures to reduce risks.Alms that says my cardiologist.Bad cholesterol must be controlled yes or yes.

And I am someone who puts the nerves when he listens to the statine word, in fact, I opened a thread to talk about statin and the danger of generating or facilitating the generation of diabetes.I think this was my case.I was medicated with them in maximum doses after my angina.Now if you are able to control your own merits ole you !!!Greetings

My uncle, more or less the same as you, ate (and eats, if it has not changed) especially vegetables, meat a couple of times a week and grilled, the rest fish and grilled or baked, every day youHe had been walking several kilometers for several kilometers, and on weekends even more, and had a heart attack from which he left miracle, three stens, as he ate healthLife, apart from medication to alleviate sequelae for removing medication, which caused a stroke when a cholesterol plaque gave off ... you can't always beat the family heritage like this ...

Hi VRV, I debut with diabetes mellitus 1 about 40 years ago, I think more than 6 years ago I placed the first pill, atorvastatin 10 mg.My cholesterol figures were about 180 and so many.I currently take Livazo 10 mg and my cholesterol is n 153. The problem that can cause the pills or at least caused me is the loss of protein through the urine.Albumin etc.For me the pill for cholesterol as the doctor has told him or serves to prevent.The best can take a bit to find the right one.I am happy to take measures for cholesterol.I have tried to leave it a month and it has increased me in more than 200. Greetings and take care of yourself.

I told you about cholesterol figures PQ there is a concept that is primary prevention that is no problem but there are risk factors as in this case diabetes.At the moment with diabetes the objective is to have a total cholesterol in less than 200 and a LDL (bad cholesterol) in less than 100, that in primary prevention, that is, without any associated complication, if any, the LDL must be inless than 80 and even in less than 70 as the case may be.Maybe that's why statin, looks to see the LDL how much it is.
I am a family doctor and diabetic type 1 TB from 11 to and I have 48. I do not take anything for cholesterol, I have it low, I do a lot of exercise, but that is the protocol.

Hello,

What cholesterol values ​​do you have?The Covid has caught me in another community and unfortunately I took it, being hospitalized 9 days.I am of type 2 and in the hospital they treated me with insulin, (I was perfectly controlled with pills, yes, I took 14 .... my glycosadas of 5.7 the last 6 years).When leaving the hospital they told me that my treatment is very outdated and that I could harm myself, that now they recipe pills that "protect", so they change it to me and put me insulin toujeo, Xigduo 5/850, (I have never used insulin)and I am increased by the 5 mg 5 mg chief cholesterol pill.(They tell me that we have to have low values ​​to protect).

What do you think, especially the change of Crestor 5 to 20 having these values ​​in the last analytics and that of the last 6 years equal or something less?:

Colesterol 148 mg/dl
HDL cholesterol 47 mg/dl
LDL calculated cholesterol 93 mg/dl

Thank you.

Hello!I am a diabetic since the 13th, I have 43 and I have been taking simvastatin (preventive) since before 30. I have never had high cholesterol but the endo who saw me at that time that it was convenient that it took it was told.When I changed specialist about 4 years ago he told me to continue taking her.The truth is that I don't know what would happen if I stopped doing it, but since it does not suppose any effort to take it ...

Hello good morning at my TB my endocrine wants to send me simvastatin since I am 35 years old but I do not wantI will take her pills when I have menopause that I will be more risk of stroke and infarction

How I said before, as primary prevention, without previous complications or cardiovascular events, the protocol in a diabetic, is that the LDL is below 80. Yes, with 5 mg crestor, that goal was not achieved, that is whyThey have uploaded it to 20, the LDL as you see, is in
93.
