    Hmm... putting aside the above - here's another perspective - the "prevention better then cure" perspective (in relation to statins):

    Another case for ensuring/promoting positive evidence based lifestyle changes i.e. eating a plant-based diet & regular exercise... thus helping prevent the likes of high cholesterol (hence statin use), diabetes & subsequently... "diabetic foot ulcers"... not to mention, reducing the medical costs to either the government or individual (pending on which part of the world one lives in). After all, aren't statins one of the most (if not, the most) prescribed drugs in the world? Sure, pharmaceutical companies won't like my views - but hey, who gives a @#$%...

    Statins Increase Diabetes Risk by up to 50% in Older Women

    "Statin therapy increases the risk of new-onset diabetes in elderly women by 33%, and the higher the dose, the greater the risk, a new analysis of the observational Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health shows.

    "Clearly, statins have beneficial effects, including a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular events; however, the dose-response effect we observed suggests that it may be wise to avoid using higher doses of statins in older women," lead author Mark Jones, MD, senior lecturer, school of public health, the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland, told Medscape Medical News in an email.

    "GPs and their elderly female patients should be aware of the risks," Dr Jones added in a University of Queensland statement, noting that those elderly women taking statins "should be carefully and regularly monitored for increased blood glucose to ensure early detection and management of diabetes."

    And, he and his colleagues suggest, it may be the case that statins could be stopped altogether in some elderly women.

    Women Take Statins on Average, for 6.5 Years.

    The new analysis included 8372 Australian women aged between 76 and 82 years at baseline who were followed for 10 years; it is published in the March issue of Drugs and Aging.

    Dr Jones and colleagues note that the majority of participants in statin trials have been males and that females, especially elderly ones, have been underrepresented.

    "Our group has expertise and experience in women's health, including being involved with the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health for the past 20 years, and we focused on the older cohort of women [in this study] because we thought this is a population that has generally not been included in clinical trials," Dr Jones explained to Medscape Medical News... "
