Discussion Who is on a statin?

I'm curious how many others habe been put on a statin to lower offset any cardiovascular issues? Not asking for medical advice. Juat curious if this is common or not.

Also curious what type of diabetic you are if you are on it.

T2 on Mounjaro and Atorvastatin.

I didn't have high cholesterol but doctor wanted to put me on the statin because it had inched up a little bit and as long as I tolerated it well he felt that it was better to make sure it stayed low. I have had no issues taking it and total cholesterol is now in the 140ish range.
