We hear from Professor Colin Baigent in Oxford about how this study should reassure those who need to take them. On Health Check we like to bring you the best possible evidence – and for that we r...

In this week's podcast Professor Colin Baigent from the Cholesterol Treatment Triallists Collaboration at the University of Oxford, UK, discusses a large meta-analysis which shows how people with diabetes can reduce their risk of cardiovascular events from statin therapy in the same way as people without diabetes, regardless of existing cardiovascular disease. He comments that in light of these results, all people with diabetes should be considered for statin treatment.

Meta-Analysis Proves Statins Help Patients With Diabetes
COLIN BAIGENT, Oxford University
REFERENCE: Lancet 371:117 January 11, 2008
Statins were foiund to cut cardiovascular event rates by a fifth among patients with both Type I and Type II diabetes in a meta-analysis of 18 000 patients from Oxford University in England and the University of Sydney in Australia. Peter Goodwin asked the lead UK investigator, Colin Baigent, about the findings and their implications.
