A few studies have found that using statins increases blood sugar because statin use can stop your body's insulin from doing its job properly. This can put people who use statins at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Dr. Shaik Suggests...

Take a FLOW CYTOMETRY - CD8 COUNT Test or Take a HB, TC Test
