The most prescribed medication in the world is linked to blood sugar problems… Statins are taken by over 40 million Americans, and research shows they may also affect how your body handles glucose: 🔹 Insulin Resistance 
Statins can make your cells less responsive to insulin. When that happens, your body has to pump out more insulin to keep blood sugar stable potentially leading to prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. 🔹 GLP-1 Suppression 
GLP-1 is a gut hormone that helps regulate blood sugar by stimulating insulin and slowing digestion. It’s also the pathway popular drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy act on. New studies suggest statins may actually reduce GLP-1 levels, which explains why some people on statins see elevated blood sugar levels 
As more people are prescribed statins, understanding their wider metabolic effects is essential for preventing the increase in chronic disease rates. #MetabolicHealth #Statins #InsulinResistance #GLP1 #BloodSugar
