Test Result?
Are you also on a statin? Atorvastatin, simvastatin, pravastatin, something like that? CK is a muscle enzyme and when muscles are inflamed it can spill into the blood stream and that's what we measure. If you have muscle aches the statin you are on may be causing a bit of muscle inflammation or "myositis". If you can tolerate it then you can try CoQ10 that has been studied for statin related myositis, see if it works for you. If not, there are less potent statins that don't cause so much inflammation. If you tolerate it it's definitely worth staying on bc statins have been shown to reduce risk of death from all causes by 20% not many meds that can say that. Protects you from strokes and heart disease, so a few muscle aches and such are worth it if you tolerate it but if not there are other options that can do the same. All diabetics should be on a statin so is it related to your diabetes? In a way, yes! READ MORE
