Higher doses of statins are associated with greater risk for incident diabetes than lower doses, according to a BMJ study.

Using healthcare databases from Canada, the UK, and the US, researchers identified 137,000 patients who were prescribed statins after hospitalization for a major cardiovascular event. At 2 years, patients prescribed a higher-dose statin (rosuvastatin, 10 mg and up; atorvastatin, 20 mg and up; simvastatin, 40 mg and up) had a 15% higher rate of new diabetes diagnoses than lower-dose statin users. Incidence rates were highest in the first 4 months.
