[QUOTE="ann34+, post: 1456586, member: 94348"] That is very interesting - and surprising regarding it having so little racial diversity and so few women . Some years ago, I recall a doctor telling me, when i did not want statins, that most of the research which showed some small benefit at that time had been done on men, and that as i had a good TC to HDL ratio, was not overweight, was well controlled, etc i need not worry about not taking them. I had assumed that in the intervening years research would have a greater mix of participants, and equal numbers of men and women. The recent NICE guidelines, now i have read them, seem very draconian, and i cannot find much new evidence for benefit for women. Yet as a Type one woman i cannot go near the hospital without feeling harrassed because i will not take them. [/QUOTE]
