merry christmas all!! since taking the statins my blood sugar has rarely been under 8. normally would be 6-7 in mornings currently 8-9 with the statins. think a trip back to docs is needed

I’m T2 on metformin. So my Hba1c has gone from 71 to 48 to 46 now at 52. My cholesterol is at 5.8 and has never been lower than 5.2. My doctor has now prescribed me 20mg of a statin drug because of my Qrisk score being 45% over my lifetime. Are statins a safe drug and do they affect blood sugar?
