[QUOTE="Amchad, post: 1000065, member: 233125"] I too have just been put on statins. I've been type 1 for 28 years. I have excellent cholesterol results and no complications. When I was 40 I was told 'NICE guidelines recommend everyone over 40 with a long history of type 1 diabetes should have statins to be used as a preventative measure'. I refused - I have no family history of cholesterol problems or heart attacks. I've put it off 6 years - my cholesterol readings are still excellent - but at my last review, aged 46, I have succumbed to the pressure. I have yet to take my first one! [/QUOTE]
