[QUOTE="Indy51, post: 322890, member: 48386"] I believe you are entitled to ask for copies of any tests doctors run. I always ask for copies of mine and keep a file - it makes life so much easier if you see a different doctor or specialist. I find it amazing that the doctor has put you on a statin without even discussing the reasons for doing so - and especially if you haven't had a lipid profile done. More "let's treat a risk factor with a dangerous drug" - I call that witch doctoring, not valid medical practice. Sheesh. But sadly it seems to be routine with diabetics. I think all diabetics need to be proactive about their own health - after all, we're the ones who end up with the complications and possible amputations - not the doctor or nurse or dietician handing us their drugs and flawed dietary advice. OK, down off my soapbox now :shh: [/QUOTE]
