  1. Effects of statin therapy on diagnoses of new-onset diabetes and

    Statin therapy increases the risk of new-onset diabetes by 10% to 36% compared with placebo, depending on the intensity of statin. The excess risk is mostly among people with baseline glycaemia close to the diagnostic threshold for diabetes.

  2. Risk of diabetes with statins

    Statins are associated with a small increased risk of new-onset diabetes, which is higher in people with other risk factors for diabetes, and in association with high intensity statins and older age. The web page provides a practice pointer for clinicians to advise patients on statins and diabetes risk, and to monitor blood glucose levels.

  3. Statin Treatment-Induced Development of Type 2 Diabetes: From Clinical

    1. Introduction. Statins are a guideline-directed, first line therapy for prevention of primary and secondary cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is the leading cause of mortality worldwide [1,2].Although the principal mechanism of the action of statins is inhibition of 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme-A (HMG-CoA) reductase, statins have been implicated in several other beneficial ...

  4. Statins: Is It Really Time to Reassess Benefits and Risks?

    2. The first evidence that statins increase the risk of T2D. The first study showing that statins were associated with the risk of T2D was the WOSCOPS trial (West of Scotland Coronary Prevention Study) ().A total of 5 974 participants did not have diabetes at baseline and 139 of them developed T2D during the study.

  6. Researchers solve mystery of how statins improve blood vessel health

    The findings provide new insight into statins' curiously wide-ranging benefits, for conditions ranging from arteriosclerosis to diabetes, that have long been observed in the clinic. ... at the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute and co-lead author of the study published May 8 in Nature Cardiovascular Research.

  7. How clinically relevant is statin-induced diabetes?

    A meta-analysis of 23 trials shows that statins increase the risk of new-onset diabetes and worsen glycaemia in people with diabetes. The authors discuss the balance of benefits and harms of statins and the importance of prevention and monitoring strategies.

  8. Statins may increase diabetes, but benefit still outweighs risk

    The Women's Health Initiative 6 recruited 161,808 postmenopausal women without diabetes mellitus at baseline, of whom 153,840 had enough data to be analyzed post hoc. Statin therapy was associated with a 71% higher risk of new-onset diabetes mellitus (self-reported). After adjustment for age, body mass index, family history of diabetes, and other variables, the risk was still 48% higher in ...

  9. Lipid Disorders Management Strategies (2024) in Prediabetic and

    The development of new agents for the treatment of dyslipidaemia is, currently, one of the most dynamic topics of research. From statin therapy and combinations of statins with ezetimibe, to fibrates and icosapent ethyl—oral medication administered daily—to treatments administered monthly or twice a month, such as the monoclonal antibodies ...

  10. Statins and diabetes: What are the connections?

    Thus, the impact of statin-induced new-onset diabetes on microvascular risk may not be the same as new-onset diabetes in general but, once again, more data are needed to prove this point. Summary. Of all the lipid-lowering agents, statins have the best evidence to support a small, but significant impact on the development of new-onset diabetes.

  13. Statins and Risk of New-Onset Diabetes Mellitus

    Statins have a long track record of improving clinical outcomes in patients with high LDL cholesterol. Treatment of elevated LDL cholesterol levels with statins leads to a dramatic drop in the risk of heart attack, stroke, and death from cardiovascular causes in those with and without diabetes mellitus (Figure A). 2 Over 4 years, for every 40-mg/dL drop in the LDL cholesterol level, there is a ...

  14. Statins and Diabetes: How Big Is the Risk?

    A new study found that statins may double the risk of diabetes, but the absolute risk is small and the benefits of reducing cardiovascular risk outweigh the risks. The American Heart Association issued a statement on statin safety and emphasized the importance of lifestyle changes for both diabetes and cardiovascular prevention.

  15. The Role of Statins in Diabetes Treatment

    In one meta-analysis, statins were associated with a 9% increased risk (an absolute difference of about 0.4%) of developing diabetes. To cause a new case of diabetes, 255 patients would have to be treated for a mean of 4 years. 64 Compared to low-dose therapy, intensive therapy is associated with a 12% increase in risk of diabetes with a number ...

  16. Statins and Diabetes: Is There a Connection?

    Even still, the association between statins and diabetes is strong enough that in 2012, the U.S. Food and Drug Association (FDA) approved changes in the labeling of high-intensity statins to ...

  17. Latest statins guidance keeps more conservative approach to ...

    In the past there had been some concern that statins may elevate a person's risk for muscle problems or diabetes, but other than one study that involved high-intensity statin therapy, on the ...

  18. 854-P: Statin Use and New-Onset Diabetes in People with Prediabetes

    Statins lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, yet may adversely affect glucose metabolism. In the D2d study, which evaluated the effect of vitamin D versus placebo in a contemporary cohort of people with high-risk prediabetes (n=2,423) , we evaluated the association between statin use at baseline and progression to diabetes.

  19. Statin-induced diabetes: incidence, mechanisms, and implications

    Emergence of new diabetes in RCTs. A clinically relevant concern with statin therapy is a significantly increased risk of new-onset diabetes in patients on statin therapy. The JUPITER trial reported a 25% increase with rosuvastatin 20 mg, over a median follow-up of 1.9 years, compared to those on placebo 9.

  22. Lifetime effects and cost-effectiveness of statin therapy for older

    Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk increases with age. Statins reduce cardiovascular risk but their effects are less certain at older ages. We assessed the long-term effects and cost-effectiveness of statin therapy for older people in the contemporary UK population using a recent meta-analysis of randomised evidence of statin effects in older people and a new validated CVD model.
