@pkoutou Good morning. I understand you are taking Crestor. Haven’t you noticed if your blood sugar levrls have increased with this medicine. I haven’t started it yet since I am following a strict diet but I have a friend who developed diabetes because of taking Crestor.
Any information will help. Thank you

naiviv,
Here's a summary article that addresses the occasional increase in A1C associated with various statins - and the variability of patients.
From additional reading, those folks with extremely high A1C and borderline diabetes may get a nudge into diabetes with some statins under some conditions - but, apparently, statins don't cause diabetes in folks with normal blood sugar levels.
