(I'm a 59 year old woman for context and am very fit, don't smoke, don't drink blah, blah). Apparently none of that counts, as a diabetic I'm automatically at 'high risk'. Sigh.Edited to add, I was sent off for dna testing and to cut a long story short, the results came back that my 'higher than the average person's LDL' was in fact polygenic, meaning that's just me!</blockquote>
