[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 2193060, member: 100904"] I would add that with familial hypercholesterolemia, it was a decision taken with much reluctance to agree to statins. With many of the older generation of my family, (both mums and dads sides) having heart attacks in their 40s I didn’t want to be adding to the early cardiac statistics. Ihave made it to mid 60s without, so far, having heart or circulation problems, though I have had high blood pressure since my first pregnancy over 40 years ago. I would not have considered statins just because I am a certain age, and have diabetes, but with family history, and blood tests showing I had the same trait, I took the chance when offered 20 years ago. Would add though, that I became diabetic 4 years after starting statins. [/QUOTE]
