Definitely. The FDA now has a warning that statins increase your risk of diabetes. There were enough studies to convince them. Anecdotally, you'll find whole websites of diabetics that say as long as they were on statins, the blood sugar was through the roof no matter what their lifestyle. It wouldn't surprise me if with mass statin prescription we have a diabetes epidemic on our hands. Never mind that diabetes *itself* increases your risk of heart attack (uh oh - plus a dozen other complications). And everyone will just pretend such a diabetes epidemic if it happened is solely because people are fat, or eating too much sugar and carbs, and getting too little exercise (all probably true, but what about the statins?).
