[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2018154, member: 468714"] Please subscribe to zoeharcombe.com before you think about such a trial. She has found that there is no advantage in taking statins for prevention in the situation where there is no sign of a problem or when in a risk category such as T1D. She asserts that there is no link between cholesterol and heart disease (she has evaluated all the trials so should know). As mentioned above there are reports of a 25% risk-profile for statins, rarely of death but it is there. GPs are influenced often by drug reps and seem to be unfamiliar with the wide range of statin side-effects. (and drug reps are not going to volunteer all these side-effects)!!! There is the this 'blindness to side-effect issues' behaviour I have noted as a T!D over 52 years in many doctors when they think the drug is a 'wonder' drug. Your choice of course but just remember you are the person who would be taking the statin, not your GP. [/QUOTE]
