A member asked:
51f. i started taking a statin (10mg lipitor) a month ago and it's increased my blood sugar significantly. my a1c has been in the prediabetes range so i occasionally check it. is it possible that a different statin would not have this effect?

I have been taking LIVALO 2mg for 10 years, without any problems. Ask your doctor for best information.
