[QUOTE="MDJ, post: 2273108, member: 503559"] I might be wrong about this still being current policy, but is it not the case that GP's are incentivised (financially) under NICE guidelines to prescribe statins to what are defined as "at risk groups" - which is essentially those people who are considered to be at a 10% greater risk of having a cardiac incident. Those with Diabetes fall into that group. [/QUOTE]
