Good job on getting it down. The best things you can do for your cholesterol is much the same as for your diabetes. Low fat, complex carb diet. Exercise.
Ignore "men in black". He/she & their group ignore the reams of scientific data that shows the benefits of statin therapy. It's easy to make a claim about "many have died" from statins and not provide direct proof from primary sources.
230
to high
Statin drugs work wonders on Cholesterol levels.
Your doctor can prescribe these.
I'll be 50 this year and my cholesterol was 229 last October. I was told that I would have to go on meds because there's a family history and we eat a fairly healthy diet. I do eat red meat and really don't want to give it up. Guess I'll see what happens with my blood work this year.
55 year old heart attack survivor. 107 with meds. My HDL is too low 24. LDL 64
Mine is around 110. In many people, a low-fat diet and exercise can dramatically reduce bad cholesterol levels. But some people have too much LDL no matter how hard they try to lower it. That's when a medication may be necessary. Work with your doctor to figure whether you need to improve your cholesterol and, if so, how. I found that eating a high fiber breakfast like oatmeal daily is good for lowering High Cholesterol too.
