Brief Answer:
NOT a sign of diabetes!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this weakness. This is probably caused by the statins and not a sign of diabetes. However, do your drink more than usual? Urinate more than usual? Always thirsty? These are the principal signs of diabetes and not weakness.

I hope this helps. Wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
