[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 2425669, member: 219467"] Ok so a mix of foods some "better" than others.. But with those results and presumably fairly soon after eating I'd be incredibly hesitant to start any medication. Red meat and butter should be fine.. pizza less so. Cholesterol can be very dynamic depending on what has been eaten in the previous few hours and the total number is pretty meaningless without a full lipid profile breakdown. To get a cleaner figure ts better to fast for 12-14 hours before the blood is taken and then try to get a full lipid panel breakdown so you can see what HDL, And triglycerides are doing as these are a far better indicator of heart health that total cholesterol alone. Your diabetes doc obviously isn't much of a cholesterol expert. [/QUOTE]
