[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 881225, member: 88961"] It's entirely up to you whether you accept statins or not, as it is the same with any other treatment recommendation. Did your GP share the test with you, and do you know what your score was, aside from double that for a non-diabetic person? (I do understand you're not diabetic.) If your GP used the qrisk scoring test, which I understand is the standard model, there are two diabetic options; T1 and T2; with T1s having a further elevated risk weighting than T2s. It would be worthwhile understanding where you sit on the risk scale, with and without the diabetes tag applied, and both those numbers would be where I would start. Both my scores are very low, thankfully. You can find the qrisk test here: [URL]http://www.qrisk.org/[/URL] . You probably have most, if not all, of the information to hand. [/QUOTE]
