Statins and diabetes risk discussed with Dr Roach guidance
A 77 year old woman on 20 mg simvastatin asks if statins cause diabetes and can the condition be reversed by stopping the medication. The response notes a modest increased diabetes risk with statins, especially for BMI under 25, estimates about 6.4 percent without statins vs 10 percent with statins over several years, and advises that stopping the statin may not reverse diabetes but benefits in heart attack and stroke prevention often outweigh risks.
