Wow is right!! Hubby had type 2 diabetes for years. Also was on crestor. His AIC was so high, the VA doc ordered insulin. Private doc said it would likely kill him as he can't communicate his physical symptoms, like dangerously low blood sugar. I came across a similar article and just took a chance, took him off the statin. IMMEDIATE lowering of his AIC to optimal with regular meds, no insulin. It has stayed under control for the past few years.
