Abstract
In the Japanese obese group with BMI â¥Â 25, pitavastatin elicited a significant decrease in fasting blood glucose. It is not clear whether or not this is due to improved insulin resistance as a direct effect of pitavastatin, but in contrast to findings in Caucasians pitavastatin does not worsen insulin resistance in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes complicated by hypercholesterolemia.
