[QUOTE="viviennem, post: 345935, member: 31282"] Sadly, Type 2 diabetes, previously associated with late middle age, is becoming more common in younger people. Is your cholesterol high? Maybe you should go back to your GP, ask him/her to go through your full lipid profile with you and explain just why you need to take them? They are very helpful for many people; a few of us (like me) get side-effects we can't cope with. With any luck, you may just take a pill every morning and know nothing more about it except for reduced cholesterol levels. Statins are one of the drugs (the other is blood pressure medication) that they seem to prescribe for us regardless; that always makes me suspicious! :D Viv 8) [/QUOTE]
