[|Human|] My glucose rate, according a comp. metabolic set, is 109.  This rate has being progressively increasing: 84 (10/14/2009), 93 (4/5/2012), 109 (7/26/2012).  I am taking statin drugs for my heart condition.  Do you think that this changes in my glucose are something to worry about?
[|AI|]  Firstly all the blood pressure reading mentioned are in the normal range and so you need not worry about the same.  You are true in saying that statin does cause new onset diabetes, but the risk is rare. To be frank its 1 in 250 patients treated with statin over 5 years may have diabetes. And so the benefit for heart condition is far more than the risk of diabetes due to statin, so do continue the same and keep 6 monthly monitoring of the blood pressure. Regards Chat Doctor.
