Diabetes: All diabetics should be on a statin?

Do not be fooled by the Jupiter trial with respect to the efficacy of statins. The large percentage benefits are Relative Risk and mean very little. Statins have been sold based on relative risk number rather tha absolute risk from the beginning. But anyway, she said the docs are being told now that ALL diabetics should be put on a statin drug, regardless of their lipid profile results. *ALL* DIABETICS.

Who, pray tell, is doing the telling? Might it be the drug companies? I saw what my husband went thru, after a few weeks on Lipitor, he could barely get out of bed, his legs, his hips, all pain all the time. Stopped the drug and was better in days. We have been taking Cholest-off. Both our numbers went down. Nothing dramatic, but down.
