[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 345642, member: 11028"] It's been mentioned and I have chatted with my Endo and GP about taking statins but have yet to take them, my last cholesterol results were well below the recommended levels so we have decided to review things in a year or two. It depends who you speak to really as to whether all type 1's should be on statins, it pays to ask around and ask for advice and the British Heart Foundation or Diabetes UK is a good place to start. I have two family members who take a statins and one has seen a dramatic reduction in their cholesterol levels, both have had no side-effects so far, if my own cholesterol levels were high then I'd have no hesitationin taking a statin to reduce the risks.
