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.
It's possible your blood sugar (blood glucose) level may increase when you take a statin, which may lead to developing type 2 diabetes. The risk is small but important enough that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning on statin labels regarding blood glucose levels and diabetes.
