I was almost convinced I needed the statins but right near the end the author says:'Not everyone with diabetes has the same risk: there are people with Type 2 diabetes who aren't overweight. Not all smoke or have high blood pressure. So while the studies show statins are effective across the board, we can't yet say everyone should take them.'....which makes the issue doubtful. I'm confused about one thing. Inside the link is another one about retinopathy. At one point this says blood cholesterol level is important but in the treatment section it doesn't mention statins, so I think he might just mean blood glucose is the important thing but high blood glucose often goes with high cholesterol.</blockquote>
