Popis: It is now well established that clinical use of statins for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular complications in patientswith diabetes mellitus (DM) increases life expectancy. At the same time, meta-analysis of major randomized trials shows statins to increaseglycemic levels and incidence of diabetic symptoms, especially in patients at risk for developing glycemic disorders.
