I am 58 years male weighing 64 kg and height 166cms. With hypertension since 1984, under regular treatment, and well controlled. I have a family history of diabetes too. My blood sugar levels, since last 3 years are - fastng levels 110 -120 mgs and two hours after meals are around 200- 240. And hba1c is 6. 6. My diabetologist has prescribed me rosuvastatin 10 mgs at bedtime with tab. Metformin 250 mgs intially [started only 1 week ago]. I read that statins also lead to high blood sugars and also insulin resistance. I wonder if I should stop both rosuvastatin and metformin and pay attention to diet and exercise. I am also receiving antidepressant like amixide h 1 tab at bed time and fluexetin 10 mgs once a day in the morning. Can you help me and advise please?
