I take statins.does it increase post prandial glucose level and does it causes alcohol intolerance
Brief Answer:
Older statins increase risk of diabetes
Detailed Answer:
There is some evidence that older statins ( simvastatin, Pravastatin, Lovastatin and ?? Atorvastatin) to induce high sugars and more chances of diabetes. This theory has to be proven. However, many studies have shown that Atorvastatin and Rosuvastatin are glucose neutral. Statin doesn't cause alcohol intolerance, but statins and alcohol ( excess) can cause liver enzyme changes.
