A member asked:

I'm a diabetic 2. sometimes i forgot to take my jamuet xr and lipitor (atorvastatin) for days. what are the compilations. my a1c is 6.2 my readings are 140 to 180.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Consistency: A1c represents an average blood glucose. Blood glucose variability can give a falsely reassuring a1c. You may still be at risk for cardiovascular complication. While adherence is important, your risk is lower than many with an a1c of 6.2.

51F. I started taking a statin (10mg lipitor) a month ago and it's increased my blood sugar significantly. My a1c has been in the prediabetes range so I occasionally check it. Is it possible that a different statin would not have this effect?
