Hi, @testudo, While I didn't need weight loss, in fact the opposite, I congratulate you on yours and applaud your efforts in following your diabetic diet and exercise. Diagnosed a yr ago with prediabetes, I was able to get A1c back in the normal range with diet and exercise. However, I've been taking "atvorastatin (for cholesterol) is another culprit for PN" for several years but not warned against it. Can you site a source with more info on this or was it something your doc cautioned you about? Thanks for the alert.
