Hello,
You are a Diabetic with cardiac problems.
You should consider continuing statins to lower the lipid levels and lower the risk of heart attack.
Carinsure is Levocarnitine which is given as a dietary supplement.
It helps in utilization of fatty acids to produce energy and maintains good health.
Diabetes is a cardiac risk state.
So control of Diabetes will lower the risk.
