Is it safe for me to stop taking Lipirose 5 mg and manage my cholesterol through diet and exercise alone, and is there a real risk that statins can cause diabetes?
Please consult your doctor before stopping Lipirose (rosuvastatin), as cholesterol can rise quickly even with lifestyle changes. Regarding diabetes, there is a very small risk that statins can slightly raise blood sugar levels. At your low 5 mg dose, this risk is minimal, and the heart-protective benefits of the medication generally far outweigh it. Your doctor can monitor your blood sugar and help you safely determine if lifestyle changes alone are appropriate for you.
