[QUOTE="seadragon, post: 999480, member: 195124"] If your medical team is anything like mine, informed discussion with them is not going to happen. I tried believe me but I just got the well considered (not) advice that my doc would put statins in the water and then a refusal to discuss issues and a total lack of knowledge of any of the original statin trials or recent evidence re cholesterol not being a cause of heart disease at all. And she is the diabetes specialist doctor. I hate the idea of being medicalised for something I haven't got, with something that will change something which is no longer implicated in causing the thing I haven't got, and may never get! And that offers no guarantees that I wont still get the thing it's designed to prevent (not surprising since it is changing something that isn't a cause)! Phew! [/QUOTE]
