๐Ÿšจ Statins & Diabetes: Dose Matters, But So Does Perspective ๐Ÿ’Š๐Ÿ“‰

A 2024 CTT Collaboration meta-analysis of 154,664 participants confirms:

โœ… Statins modestly increase risk of diabetes (10% with moderate, 36% with high-intensity)

๐Ÿ“ˆ Small upticks in HbA1c and glucose

๐Ÿงช But most new cases were already teetering near the threshold

๐Ÿฉบ Bottom line? Cardiovascular benefits far outweigh the diabetes risk.

๐Ÿ’ก It's a reminder: precision prevention is about balancing risk, not eliminating it.
