Just to put a fork in this topic and call it done @MikeR1 figured it out in another topic.
For me the statin doesn’t cause a rise but something more like insulin resistance. Maybe a counterregulatory response to insulin? And it’s all my fault, I stated on 20mg and my endo said great, done. I asked for more dreaming of a LDL in the 40’s. Over a year I worked my way up to 80mg, thinking there were no side effects. My LDL never got lower than the mid 60s, was pretty consistently 78ish pre-statin. I stopped and the resistance faded away. Going to experiment further to see if it was just a dose problem.
