Well shit, this was known back in May 2015. Why the fuck repeat research? Because you didn't know of this earlier research? Are you agreeing you are incompetent?
Strong statin-diabetes link seen in large study of Tricare patients May 2015
Taking statins raises the risk of Type 2 diabetes by nearly a third: Findings reopens debate about the pills benefits and side effects
Be careful out there, don't stop taking statins without your doctors approval. 30% or 87%? But is it statins or the underlying disease that causes your doctor to prescribe statins? Your doctor should have warned you about this and be monitoring your condition since May 2015;
In a database study of nearly 26,000 beneficiaries of Tricare, the military health system, those taking statin drugs to control their cholesterol were 87 percent more likely to develop diabetes.
Or is your doctor using coffee to try to prevent diabetes? Making the assumption that it will translate from mice to humans.
Substance in coffee delays onset of diabetes in laboratory mice
Your doctor can also consider this:
High-intensity statin therapy alters the progressive nature of diabetic coronary atherosclerosis, yielding regression of disease in diabetic and nondiabetic patients.

Statins linked to higher diabetes risk
Wiley | March 06, 2019
Individuals who take cholesterol-lowering
statins may be at higher risk for developing high blood sugar levels,
insulin resistance, and eventually type 2 diabetes, according to an
analysis published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology.
The analysis examined information from 9,535 individuals older than 45 years of age who were free from diabetes at the start of the population-based Rotterdam study and were followed for up to 15 years.
Compared with participants who never used statins, those who used statins tended to have higher concentrations of serum fasting insulin and insulin resistance. Participants who had ever used statins had a 38% higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes during the study. This risk was more prominent in individuals with impaired glucose balance and in overweight/obese individuals.
“The findings suggest that in patients who initiate statin therapy, preventive strategies such as blood sugar control and weight loss may be warranted for minimizing the risk of diabetes,” said senior author professor Bruno Stricker, of the Erasmus Medical Centre, in the Netherlands.
