Statins for all diabetics urged

Drug 'em all.

More money for Big Pharma and the rest of the sick care industry. Less for the rest of us.

"People with diabetes should receive cholesterol-busting drugs regardless of whether they have signs of heart disease, UK researchers say.

Statins cut the risk of heart attack, stroke and death in diabetic people even in those with low cholesterol levels, analysis of 14 trials shows.

It means hundreds of thousands more people could benefit from treatment, the Lancet report said."

Rather than cure them, drug them.

"'People with diabetes are a clearly defined group of people at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

"What we're saying is statins are clearly effective in every type of person with diabetes.'"

Weight loss is more effective and is a cure for the Type IIers.

What we're saying is the fat ones should lose weight so their diabetes is cured and skip the drugs for which we all have to pay.
