What Causes Elevated CPK Levels In A Type II Diabetes?

I have elevated cpk levels as determined by a blood test. My doctor took me of liptor as a result. I have congestive heart failure and type 2 diabetes. Recently, after performing one test shortly after exercising my Rheum Doctor seem not to be concern with cpk coming from the brain or heart. Is there a way to lower cpk level? I weigh 400+ pound so perdiosine (?) is not an option.

creatine phosphokinase elevations can be found without any health complaints. CPK elevated levels enzyme come from the muscles active work. muscles release CPK that tends to increase with heavy exercise. To make the things clear front of asymptomatic CPK increase, doctor check it again after 1 or 2 weeks exercise rest.
Some drug has as side effects a rhabdomyolysis ("rhabdo" and "myo" for "rod-shaped muscle"; "lysis" for "breakdown") like statins. In obese patients, CPK value is not correlated to obesity checked by BODY MASS INDEX (BMI).
Prednisone a corticosteroids drug, is not well for you as you are very obese and you might gain weight with it, and you are suffering from heart diseases, then you have to lose weight. Corticosteroids increase blood glucose, then you are asked to not use corticosteroids.
Hypothyroidism often causes weakness, cramps, myalgia, and a mild to moderate serum CPK elevation.
Serum CK levels are strongly affected by race, sex, and physical activity.
A patient with truly elevated levels should be evaluated for a variety of nonneuromuscular causes, including endocrine disorders, metabolic disturbances, drug effects, and malignancy.
If you are diagnosed Asymptomatic, no Treatment Exists and Course is Often Benign
