Statins Associated With Significant Increase in Diabetes Risk

Now they tell us.

Statin use in postmenopausal women is associated with a significantly increased risk of diabetes mellitus, research shows [1]. New data from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) hints that the risk of diabetes is higher than suggested by previous studies, with investigators reporting a 48% increased risk of diabetes among the women taking the lipid-lowering medications.

Fat people are more likely to have high lipids than are intended-size humans.

And you can bet that they will continue to find more issues with these drugs as they will with fat person drugs (e.g., diet pills) and fat person surgeries (bariatric surgery).
