[QUOTE="jaybay, post: 1176606, member: 214046"] I was put on statins and having done a bit of research and felt I understood enough about the different lipids and what numbers are important I challenged my doctor as to why I was on them when I was not at risk of heart problems or stroke and his response was that NHS guidelines say diabetics with total cholesterol over 4 should be on them. He agreed, after looking at the breakdown and other lifestyle factors that I had no need for them. I don't take statins any longer. Would suggest ask your doctor for the breakdown and to work out your risk level. [/QUOTE]
