The AFORRD trial is asking three important questions:
What proportion of people with Type 2 Diabetes are likely to be treated satisfactorily with a fixed dose of a statin that lowers blood cholesterol levels to help reduce the risk of heart disease? To what extent do omega-3 fatty acids lower blood triglyceride levels when given with or without a statin? Are there simple techniques that can help people to take their tablets on a regular basis?
- They have a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus for at least 3 months prior to
entry.
- Are not known to have had a cardiovascular event
- They are taking prescribed lipid lowering therapy
- Have triglycerides > or = 8.0 mmol/L
