Listen to your doctor not the internet.
You don't want to lose a leg or have a stroke because diabetes will sneak up on you without you knowing about it.

I searched for info AFTER the doctor told me my blood sugar had become too high, AFTER I had been taking the statin for about a year.
No diabetes - statins - diabetes.
I simply searched "Statins side effects" and got many hits from various sources, including the pharma manufacturers themselves, yielding very similar results.
Statins drive up your sugar levels, regardless of what the doctor tells you.
I've also discovered, through experimentation, that reasonable exercise and proper diet do WAY more to correct these problems than the drugs do. Unfortunately, I'm a lazy man and I'm not very good at maintaining a consistent exercise regimen.......
