Statins can cause a small increase in blood sugar levels, which may mean that people who take them and are already at high risk of diabetes may develop the condition sooner, a sweeping new review has found.

Research suggests the drugs may increase this risk by one-third<\/a> and potentially even double<\/a> it. For patients already diagnosed with diabetes, recent research<\/a> associates statins with significant progression of the disease.<\/p>\n But diabetes is far from being the only side effect faced by statin users. Other studies show that these drugs increase the risk of developing muscle pain<\/a>, fatigue<\/a>, cognitive impairment<\/a>, and peripheral nerve damage<\/a>. They are also associated with an increased risk of breast<\/a>, prostate<\/a>, lung<\/a>, and other cancers.<\/p>\n
