Abstract
Although there is still a lack of a clear molecular explanation on the adverse effects of statin therapy on insulin sensitivity, we showed that it deteriorates insulin sensitivity in T1DM. The cardiovascular benefits of statin treatment might outweigh the risk of developing insulin resistance, but, the possible metabolic control worsening merits to be considered.
