[QUOTE="smcc, post: 200263, member: 321"] I am a type 1 diabetic and have been for more than 40 years. My cholesterol levels were high about 5 years ago and I started on a statin. No side effects and lower cholesterol. At the last count my TC was 3.5 and HDL 2.2. What is often forgotten is that cholesterol lowering is not the only effect of statins. One of the real benefits of statins is their effect in reducing in flammation in the lining of blood vessels, making plaque formation and thrombosis less likely.
