How does Atorvastatin affect individuals with diabetes, and are there specific precautions or monitoring requirements for such patients?
Atorvastatin can improve cholesterol levels and reduce cardiovascular risk in diabetic patients, but careful monitoring of blood glucose and liver function is essential.
Atorvastatin, used by diabetics for managing cholesterol, may increase blood sugar levels. Regular glucose monitoring and dose adjustments are recommended.
In diabetics, Atorvastatin helps lower the risk of heart disease, but it requires monitoring for potential increases in blood sugar and liver enzymes.
