Hi all, I finally got my doc to approve 5mg rosuvastatin but it is “causing me some aches” and I am concerned about future impacts on my A1C, which is 5.6 at the moment. Is my complaint enough, without any blood marker verification, enough to warrant repatha? Thank you! submitted by /u/p1hk4L… (Reddit r/Biohackers)
