Message: <blockquote data-quote="KD65" data-source="post: 2750965" data-attributes="member: 596240"><p>This is great information. At a recent practice nurse appointment, I was told my cholesterol was 5.8 and the target with diabetes is below 5 at my age. Statins were suggested, but as my body is still getting used to the change, I pushed back and said I want to see how everything settles down for a few months. With the information in this thread, I am inclined to continue pushing back, as I am a lifelong non-smoker, I live a relatively healthy lifestyle, and have no family heart problem history. It does sound like statins are an easy answer, not necessarily the right one, and quite possibly not necessary or even beneficial for me.</p></blockquote><p></p>
