Simvastatin Stages of Diabetes, Statin Drugs, High Cholesterol, Simvastain, Glucose

I was told that my cholesterol was too high and was put on 20 mg of simvastain. At that time, my glucose count was 98. In the 3 months that I have been taking this drug to lower my cholesterol, my glucose count has gone up to 130 and I am now in the early stages of diabetes. My husband found an article in the newspaper that connects the two. The thing is - I have completely changed my way of eating and exercising, etc. since I was diagnosed with really high cholesterol. To be that close to being a diabetic after changing my lifestyle makes me wonder about the correlation of the two - looks as if you're just swapping one disease for another. I'll take my chances without the statin drugs!
