[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1664763, member: 94045"] Not far removed from the calls in the UK not so long ago to put everyone over 40 on statins. The guidelines now are to put everyone with more than a 10% risk of CVD in the next 10 years on statins. (Using the ridiculous Q-Risk formula). All diabetics fall in that category, no matter how good their health may be. In fact, having diabetes increases the risk factor more than smoking, according to the Q-Risk formula. [/QUOTE]
