@DIY_Tardis @nicknorwitz On another level, the risk of diabetic cardiomyopathy is real & likely worsened by statins & I doubt (based on experience) that many would get proper nuanced advice. It's straight onto statins. https://t.co/RY6XUauOiB

@drkohilathas @drmenonsunil9 Agree, especially for T2DM. The trials of statins in people with T2DM have not been convincing. The risk of diabetic myocardiopathy does not appear to be helped by a statin (may make it worse) yet all T2DM folks given a statin!
