[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2083843, member: 480869"] My annual holiday insurance asks in relation to diabetes treatment “have you been told to take statins?” Not even “do you take statins” which covers any refusal to take them. Not sure what effect this has on premium or risk, Ive always assumed negative. Very dependant on how your dr has documented any discussions. Was it a discussion? An offer? An instruction/guidance? Could stopping taking them be documented as refusing or being unable due to side effects etc? Where do people told to take them purely because they are a diabetic fall regardless of their numbers or perceived need? A lack of clarity and official consistent practice may easily give insurances wiggle room. [/QUOTE]
