[quote=Anonymous]What would you do if you were a physician? Someone comes in, has risk factors for heart disease, has LDL up around 185, he's a little hypotensive, and his fasting blood sugar is 107 -- not terrible, but really would be better if it were around 85. Yeah, he could probably eat better and exercise more, but he says he's trying and you believe him, and anyway, that's a longer-term solution (and it doesn't always work). So what do you do? He's got two kids and another one on the way, and statins can reduce his risk right now. Would you really not prescribe? I would prescribe. [/quote]
