I'm type 1 diabetic, always had problems w prednisone raising my blood sugar. I was just prescribed 20 mg a day for 7 days for a SLE flare up. I can't believe this, I'm having quite a few lows! It was interesting to see someone else have the same.
Rosuvastatin (Crestor) can raise vitamin D levels about threefold in the blood. Atorvastatin (Lipitor) can have a similar effect on vitamin D as rosuvastatin. Other statins, such as lovastatin (Mevacor) and simvastatin (Zocor), can also increase the concentration of vitamin D in the blood. In contrast to the statins listed above, fluvastatin (Lescol) does not appear to raise vitamin D levels.
