[QUOTE="anniep, post: 195838, member: 27533"] Statins are very much an individual choice. There is some evidence that they reduce the risk of cardiovascular events for diabetics, even if they have normal cholesterol. But some people find the side effects too much. I have decided to go for them, as Diabetes does increase your risks from things like heart attacks, and my fathers side of the family does have a risk of these anyway, so statins seemed sensible for me.
