Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Simvastatin is heart protective. DO NOT STOP IT. Good sugar control don't mean you can change hypertension drugs. If blood pressure is well controlled, can start reducing doses by a GP.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
