[QUOTE="Ruth B, post: 709005, member: 111960"] I doubt I will ever get my cholesterol below 4, both my parents suffer high cholesterol and unlike blood sugar it's not as directly related to diet as many think. My doctor actually discussed increasing my statins to 80mg a day but even she warned me that the side effects of that higher dose would probably out weigh the benefits and it possibly wouldn't bring it down much more. Needless to say I stayed at 40mg. As long as I can keep it in the 5s I will be happy any lower will be a bonus. My blood pressure is good and my HBA1C I am working on so as they say, two out of three ain't bad. [/QUOTE]
