Anastrozole...has anyone had an increase in glucose or cholesterol

My cholesterol went up and stayed up, statins and dietary changes had little to effect on this. I still take a maximum statin and eat the best that I can. I am pretty active (sometimes even more than I want). I have been off the anastrazole for a few years but the menopausal symptoms are all still there.
Like @mdr3 said, I became an old lady overnight and seem to continue aging an accelerated rate. I do not worry overmuch about it, as I am happy to still be here. I am not claiming it is always easy, it is not. I am just saying that I choose to be grateful for my life.
Has the statin helped to lower the cholesterol for any of you?

My A1c has increased after being on Letrozole for 2 yrs. My cholesterol has stayed in a good range with a statin that I have taken even prior to my lumpectomy.

Hard to tell, as I was on a statin before this (5 mg Crestor daily). I was taking it every other day before that. Once I finished chemo and radiation, I felt well enough to use it every day. I looked ten times better during those treatment days than I do now. Afraid to take any supplements other than Vit. D
