[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2435599, member: 527103"] I was told the recommendation is that all diabetics over the age of 40 should take statins. I was told this is because we are more at risk of heart disease and statins have been shown to reduce this risk. However, this is based on research with a group of sedentary, overweight people. There is no research showing statins provide any benefit to someone of a healthy weight who exercises regularly. [/QUOTE]
