[QUOTE="forty six, post: 679210, member: 72202"] The 4.6% does include my T2, I understand there is nothing definite in life, after all I could get hit by a bus tomorrow. However what is not included in the questions are things like: Alcohol intake Regular exercise General fluid intake These all will contribute in making us more or less healthy and yet they are not mentioned. Also just because a direct relative died of a heart attack does not mean it is a risk for you. My mother died of a heart attack aged 63, after contracting a severe chest infection which infected her heart. She had no previous history of CVD, nor did anyone in her family, her relatives have all loved to a ripe old age. I have been putting together risk assessments in my working life for the past 20 years and they should always be based on evidence. If I had ticked the box to say a relative had died of an MI my risk would have increased, without any evidence. Also with no discussion on changing my lifestyle from my Dr, just take these and I'll see you in 3 months. That is not adequate medical advice or support, as mentioned in the NICE guidelines. It is bad practice. It may seem hard to believe from what I am typing here, but I actually like my Dr and have always got on well with her, but I know this is going to crop up again and again unless I radically change my life and prove them wrong.
