Hi,
I wasn%E2%80%99t asking if high cholesterol causes diabetes. I was asking if it can increase the blood sugar levels. For example, can it cause blood sugar levels to spike or elevate because of high LDL cholesterol in the body? Maybe because of the high LDL cholesterol in the body, blood isn%E2%80%99t circulating properly and causing blood sugar to increase because of improper distribution. That%E2%80%99s what I%E2%80%99m curious about.
