[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2385535, member: 451727"] I'm not against statins in certain circumstances, I just don't like this 'take them just because you have diabetes or just in case'. I don't think that it is a question of the lower the better either, in fact the consensus is that too low cholesterol can also be bad for you. For me, it's not a fear of the side effects, (all drugs have them), it's the dislike of being told to take a strong drug whether I need it or not and there is nothing other than diabetes that is 'wrong' with me, I'll rely on my body to do its thing cholesterol wise in the absence of any trauma. My level is around 7, (HDL 2.4, trigs 0.5, LDL around 4. That's good enough for me. [USER=319268]@JC Durant[/USER], do you know what your ratios are at all? [/QUOTE]
