Risk and Benefits of Statins in Glucose Control Management of Type II Diabetes.
International Journal of Angiology : Official Publication of the International College of Angiology, Inc 2018 September
Worldwide statins are considered to be the first-line pharmacological treatment for dyslipidemia and reducing the risk of coronary heart disease. However, recently various studies have shown its adverse effect on glucose control among diabetic patients and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration have revised statin drug labels to include information that increases in fasting serum glucose and glycated hemoglobin levels have been reported. This systematic review objective is to evaluate the risks and benefits of statins in glucose control management of type 2 diabetes patients based on the 44 published journal articles included and obtained through MEDLINE full text, PubMed, Science Direct, Pro Quest, SAGE, Taylor and Francis Online, Google Scholar, High Wire, and Elsevier Clinical Key. Statins were found to affect glucose control through several ways, namely, by affecting insulin production and secretion by β-pancreatic cells, insulin resistance, insulin uptake by the muscles and adipocytes and production of adipokines. Current evidence available shows that most of the statins give unfavorable side effects with regards to glucose control among diabetic patients. A dose-dependent and time-dependent effect was also observed in some statins which may be present among other statins as well.
