News: TUESDAY, May 29 (HealthDay News) -- An easy-to-follow guide can boost the number of diabetes patients who take their cholesterol-lowering statin medications as prescribed, according to a new Mayo Clinic-led study.

Statins can reduce the risk of heart disease, a common complicating factor with diabetes.

The guide, designed to act as a decision aid to promote patient-doctor discussions about medication, included four questions directed at patients: What is your risk of having a heart attack in 10 years?; what are the benefits of taking statins as compared to not taking statins?; what side effects can you expect from statins?; what do you want to do now?

The guide also provides patients with individually-tailored answers to the first three questions.
