The Heart Protection Study demonstrated how effective statins can be in lowering the risk of cardiovascular events in diabetics (Heart Protection Study Collaborative Group, 2002). There is now a compelling case for all diabetics, regardless of cholesterol content, to be administered a statin. Certainly, you should strive for a total cholesterol level of 5 mmol/l and an LDL cholesterol level of 3 mmol/l. As previously stated, it is equally critical to manage the combination of high triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol, and statins are inefficient at reducing this risk. A fibrate may be useful here, however, the combination of fibrate and statin may have substantial negative effects (myositis). Choosing oral hypoglycemic medications

The direction in which the constellations appear to rotate in the night sky is truly a matter of perspective, and is determined by the Earth’s rotation, as well as the direction in which an observer is facing. Looking north, the constellations appear to rotate counterclockwise around a fixed point in the night sky known as the north celestial pole, which is located near the north star Polaris. This is because the Earth spinning from West to East means the ground beneath you is rotating to your right, while above you the stars appear to follow an East to West direction (right to left) just like the Sun, Moon, and planets. If you face south, however, the stars would seem to revolve in a clockwise direction (left to right);
