Why those two together? A friend of mine with Type 2 diabetes has been
losing weight on Atkins---so much so that he no longer has the symptoms of
diabetes in his blood tests. All his blood test markers have improved so
much that the doctor was suitably impressed. But, he has been having
trouble with muscle aches in his legs. Finally, after neurological testing,
the doctor said that Zocor is causing Rhabdomyolysis and to immediately stop
taking it.
The problem is that without the Zocor stabilizing his cholesterol, he cannot
see where he can continue on the Atkins way of eating---because he has been
told to cut out bacon, eggs, cheese and most fat. Have any of you diabetic
people had this conundrum? And what did you do to manage it?
