[QUOTE="Dougie22, post: 195916, member: 34509"] Sanobar, Just another thought. If you live in Scotland, the official recommendations used by the NHS are the SIGN guidelines. The Sign 116 (diabetes treatment) has this recommendation to doctors: "Lipid-lowering drug therapy with simvastatin 40 mg or atorvastatin 10 mg is recommended for primary prevention in patients with type 2 diabetes aged >40 years regardless of baseline cholesterol." Note the last four words. [/QUOTE]
