Low HDL or "good cholestrol"

[jrybock]

My blood sugars used to be always whether fasting or 2 hours after meals or random throughout the day in the upper 90's all of a sudden lately I noticed I've been losing weight without trying my fasting blood glucose is 125-130 random throughout the day is 140 so I had an appointment with the diabetic clinic today I am on 80mg. Zocor because I had high cholestrol the doctor said today that my bad cholestrol is excellent but my good cholestrol is low I don't know how low she put in a request that needs to be approved for 20mg. Crestor could I be getting diabetic as a result of good cholestrol being low that is is low good cholestrol a cause of Type 2 diabetes i am 36 years old

1.) " ...I used to take 80mg. Zocor but she told me to stop..."
2.) "should I continue to take the Zocor"

Is there something in statement #1 you do not understand?

When I went to my diabetes appointment last week or a couple of weeks ago I was told that my bad cholestrol was perfect and my good cholestrol was low so the doctor suggested for me to take Fish Oil Omega 3 I used to take 80mg. Zocor but she told me to stop that I just got a letter in the mail that my LDL was high it should be below 100 mine is 125 should I continue to take the Zocor

Yikes! High dose zocor can cause diabetes.  Type zocor in Google news for the latest.

Without the proper use of a period [.] it was very difficult to read and understand your post. I'm guessing your question is whether low HDL causes t2 diabetes? The answer is no it's the other way around, uncontrolled diabetes will cause low HDL levels, among other things.

You need to speak with your doctor for clarification. Zocor and Crestor are both used to reduce LDL cholesterol and triglycercides not raise HDL levels. Also ask your doctor for an A1c [hemoglobin A1c] test to see how well you are controlling your glucose levels and whether your lifestyle has made you a candidate for diabetes.
