My loved one, Virginia, has been taking Simvastatin for about a year now. The doctor prescribed this drug to lower her cholesterol levels. I came across this NPR article today about the potential dangers of the Simvastatin drug if taking more than an 80-mg dose. This is a must read article if you (or your loved one) is a diabetes patient taking this statin drug.
You can read more about Virginia's experiences as a diabetes patient, and her diabetic complication with her eyes, retinopathy.
