Hello,
High cholesterol and high blood pressure in a diabetes raises the risk of cerebrovascular accidents multifold.
It is very essential to control all three and can be done very effectively by judicious choice of medications and lifestyle modifications in form of proper dietary control and regular aerobic exercises.
Your doctor has rightly given Crestor to you for proper control of your cholesterol levels.
Your goal should be to bring BP below 120/80 LDL cholesterol below 80 and triglycerides below 150.
Similarly keep a proper control of b,pod sugar levels.
Thanks
