I was offered statins - not because my cholesterol is high (it isn't) but because "it's standard practice for to offer all diabetics a statin".
I politely declined and would have done the same if it had been high - I am unconvinced about the benefits of artificially lowering cholesterol on heart health and prefer to keep my heart healthy by running regularly and keeping my fitness at a high level
