A recent report describes the analyses conducted, over a 14-year study period, on 471,250 patients with no history of T2DM and new statin treatment for both primary and secondary prevention [29]. It was found that, compared to the reference HMGCR pravastatin, T2DM risk was significantly increased by treatment with rosuvastatin, simvastatin and atorvastatin, but not with fluvastatin and lovastatin [29]
