General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

It is less likely that blood glucose and blood pressure fluctuations to happen, after 3 years of initiation of statin therapy. I would advise against stopping statin, without proper evaluation by a medical expert.

The use of statins in diabetic and hypertensive patients have shown positive impact in reduction of cardio-vascular events in many studies conducted world-wide. I suggest you to consider seeing your treating physician, to look into the current medications prescribed for diabetes and hypertension.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ayesha Shareef, General & Family Physician
