Our physician wanted my wife on statins but also said her cholesterol was excellent. If her cholesterol is excellent, why the statins we asked? She said because she's diabetic as a pre-caution. Things that make you go hmmmmmm.

Diabetics have a much higher risk of cardiovascular problems and stroke. Her levels may be okay for a non diabetic. Her physician undoubtedly thought her levels were to high for a diabetic.
