[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 250597, member: 12578"] Sid, I'm not sure where you got your figures from though I did read on a BBC website that UK norms for cholesterol are somewhat less stringent than those elsewhere in Europe and the US. These are what my doc would use, I have a feeling the OP is not from the UK. [url=http://www.prolipid.com/cholesterol-reference-levels/normal-and-high-cholesterol-values.html]http://www.prolipid.com/cholesterol-ref ... alues.html[/url] I can see where your doc is coming from in that diabetes itself seems to be a risk factor in CVD (I've just seen the statistics in practice , my elderly father has just had a heart valve replaced, he spent some weeks in hospital, in various wards. It seemed that every other patient I came across in those cardiac wards was diabetic. ) Your,LDL is quite a bit higher than they would want. Whether that sensibly translates into taking medication for pre diabetes I'll leave others to comment on. [/QUOTE]
