[QUOTE="Pinkorchid, post: 1636278, member: 166283"] I take statins because my doctor thinks that my high cholesterol is due to it being hereditary... this was long before I had T2... as I am not typical for it and there were no tests for it when my parents were alive. She said diet would not make any difference if it is hereditary only statins will lower it. I have been taking them for over 10 years now never had any side effects from them and still my cholesterol is higher than ideal. I now take 80mg Atorvastatin daily and my blood test next year will show if that has bought it down to an acceptable level [/QUOTE]
