Loading ...I’m concerned for a friend. Has to do with increasing the dose without evidence of increased restrictions or calcification that might have to do with higher vita D vitamins another doctors told her to take. She already has diabetes and a healthy diet as she is very good at sticking to it and has good temptation resistance.But statins besides me more and muscle damage and your heart’s a muscle longer term can cause all sorts of problems including elevating BS and causing diabetes to the suspectable. She beat it with diet and exercise but the statins raise it.
I googled and got this answer but not the major one I was looking for, can statins harm the pancreas looking for longer term damage or possibly cancer.
Yes, statins can cause pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas that can cause stomach pain. Pancreatitis can occur at any time while taking statins, but it’s more likely to happen after months of therapy. It can also occur at both high and low doses, and there doesn’t seem to be a cumulative dose effect. Age also doesn’t seem to be a major factor in susceptibility
