My doctor prescribed simvastatin to lower my cholesterol. She said to take it at night. But I keep forgetting. I take two other pills in the morning and never forget those. Can I take the simvastatin in the morning?

Simvastatin and other statin drugs lower blood cholesterol levels by blocking an enzyme called HMG Co-A reductase. This enzyme is made in the liver. It drives a key step in the making of cholesterol.

I have had type 1 diabetes for 23 years. The published literature I have read states that ideal blood glucose levels should be between 80 and 120. Why do I feel the symptoms of low blood sugar at 80 to 90 when this is the normal range for a non-diabetic?
