[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1401864"] I am not on statins. However, they were offered to me. Not because I have cholesterol problems but because I am over 40 and have type 1 diabetes. Apparently, that is the general recommendation. It was explained to me that this is based on research and trials done with "unfit" people and shown to reduce the chance of heart problems. There have been no trials for active people with type 1 diabetes. Being a regular gym-goer with a healthy BMI, I decided I against taking extra medication for which there had been no appropriate testing. [/QUOTE]
