Statins have diabetogenic properties. Pitavastatin is currently considered the only drug in this group that combines high lipid-correcting activity with the absence of a negative effect on carbohydrate metabolism. The article presents a case of correction of carbohydrate metabolism indicators against the background of pitavastatin therapy in a patient with dyslipidemia and impaired fasting glycemia. The optimal algorithms for the examination and treatment of such patients are discussed on the example of this patient.
