Statins : Studies show an association but not causality between statins and type 2 diabetes. The conditions tend to occur together. The cardiovascular risk assessment really drives and determines whether one should be taking a statin based on the new ACC guidelines. Statins prevent cardiovascular death the leading cause of death in the US. Cholestoff no. Control your diet to avoid diabetes no direct link.
