[QUOTE="davd, post: 2265593, member: 523478"] After research it seems that Atovastatin can increase my blood sugar level by up to 12% as it increases insulin resistance and limits pancreas insulin production, but all the medical bodies state diabetics have a greater chance of heart disease. So a bit of a dilemma risk of heart attack or increased BG . Note i am aged over 60 ,smoker of over 50 years , not very fit . I know i shouldn’t smoke but very hard to quit . All the research is about statins increasing the risk of T2 diabetes but none explains the risk to already diognosed with the condition [/QUOTE]
