๐จ Statins & Diabetes: Dose Matters, But So Does Perspective ๐๐
A 2024 CTT Collaboration meta-analysis of 154,664 participants confirms:
โ Statins modestly increase risk of diabetes (10% with moderate, 36% with high-intensity)
๐ Small upticks in HbA1c and glucose
๐งช But most new cases were already teetering near the threshold
๐ฉบ Bottom line? Cardiovascular benefits far outweigh the diabetes risk.
๐ก It's a reminder: precision prevention is about balancing risk, not eliminating it.
