I see. I had a carotid ultrasound last year that showed no plaque and due to that my PC thought there’s no need to get calcium score, but I think I will anyway. I’m just not sure what I’ll do with the information. Since I have type 1 diabetes and family history of heart disease, I live and treat myself as if I do with taking statin, controlling weight and insulin levels, tight, nutritious diet, monitoring blood pressure, getting regular labs, no smoking, limiting alcohol, daily exercise, medical visits every 3 months, etc. What would I do differently if I had a high calcium score? With no symptoms would I get invasive test?
