I have taken statins since I was diagnosed with T1, since that prompted full blood tests and my cholesterol was very high. Statins have brought them down and improved my ratio too. I have not experienced any side effects.
That was my experience too. I waited far too long, with a QRISK hovering a little below 10% and TC in the 4s-5s, but the advancing years was nudging my QRISK upwards so I gave statins a go.
No side effects whatever, and significant improvement in all parts of my lipid panel.
Hope you get on well with them @Sharron1
