I don't have a lot of faith in Health Canada and reading this blurb in their report on statins makes me feel like Dr. MacDougall is spot on - just another government agency in bed with Pharma: "If you are on a statin and experience symptoms associated with increased blood sugar, such as severe frequent urination, thirst or hunger, you should contact your healthcare professional." That statement is misleading and will make many many people think they are not at risk. Well, I'm here to tell you I have diabetes and have NEVER had SEVERE symptoms. In fact, the only sysmptom I have is on the end of a blood glucose strip after I monitor myself. Type 2 can be a silent disease - that's why so many are walking around with it and don't know. I find the above statement from Health Canada dangerous. My LDL cholesterol is finally down in the normal range(1.97 mmol/L) and I am definitely going to be speaking with my doctor about getting off statins, too, for the very reason that they may be adversely affecting my blood sugar - which, by the way, isn't too terrible, but is higher than I'd like despite ongoing attempts at clean eating. Perhaps the statins are the cause! All we are saying is "Give Peas a Chance"

I want to be as drug free as possible and I see that possibility even stronger with this diet. I guess for many they may not exsperince these symptoms but for some they may. Many thanks for the posts!

Would you consider your symptoms to be "severe"? Lots of folks are walking around with Type 2 and don't have any symptoms yet. If they wait for severe thirst, urination, they could be well into the disease before it's even diagnosed. I find that part of the report dangerous and misleading.
