[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1490677, member: 408573"] Thanks bulkbiker and bluetit. I seem to remember something I heard on the news about the so called benefits of statins which I mentioned to my new gp. He did the calculation and said that because I have been dx with T2, high cholestrol and I'm a smoker my risk was 42%. He did not say anything about how much statins could lower that risk. To be honest, a generalised figure of 50-50 did not shock me because there is a long history of heart attack in my family i.e I know how I'm going to kick the bucket. (All heart readings and blood pressure have been normal) [/QUOTE]
