Statins' hidden sugar effect under the microscope
NCT ID NCT07378293
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage study looks at how three popular statins (atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, simvastatin) affect blood sugar levels in 100 healthy volunteers. Participants will take the medicine for two days, and researchers will measure changes in blood glucose, insulin, and C-peptide. The goal is to understand if these drugs can raise blood sugar, even in people without diabetes.
