This standard practice costs the NHS a fortune and makes a fortune for big pharma. As with any medication there are side affects. Long story short as an over 40s type 1 I persuaded my specialist to find out what condition my arteries were in before agreeing to go on statins permanently. Arteries were completely clear. So my summary is one size does not fit all. Take statins if you want or it has been proven that you need them but not just because of your age or due to being type1!</blockquote>
