Cholestrol reducung statins may increase the risk of diabetes
Statins, which lower the ‘bad’ form of cholesterol, could increase the risk of diabetes, a study suggests.
Scientists found that people with naturally lower levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol were less likely to develop heart disease.
But they were slightly more vulnerable to type 2 diabetes.
As statins reduce LDL levels they will have the same effect, they believe.
They also found boosting levels of ‘good’ cholesterol may protect against type 2 diabetes – meaning one day this could prevent or treat the condition.
