Starting at age 40, essentially all patients with diabetes should be placed on statin therapy, the American Diabetes Association recommended in agreement with cardiology society guidelines.
Based on high risk for developing cardiovascular disease, the new American Diabetes Association (ADA) guideline published in Diabetes Care recommends all diabetics ages 40 to 75 take at least moderate-intensity statin therapy.
In June 2014, experts at the ADA's annual meeting expressed concern over the national guidelines released by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) for lipid management. But the new annual update to the ADA's Standards of Medical Care now falls in line with the ACC/AHA recommendations.
