Niacin lipids and BGs

I've been considering adding niacin to my regimen for
lipids. For those who do so, or those considering it, there
have been some interesting comments on the heartscan blog
about niacin:

and one that those worried about statins will find
interesting:

And no, I don't get a commission. I don't concur with
everything on that blog but it certainly has some
interesting and credible info.
