[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 2089327, member: 408573"] The first thing to remember is that while you are still losing weight, even if it just a little weight, this can skew your cholesterol levels as the fat cells (adipocytes) not only store fat but they store a tiny amount of cholesterol too. I would say that you still need to lower your triglycerides a little, under 1.0 would be better. And lastly, our health care providers are there to guide us and offer advice not to dictate or demand. You are fully within your rights to make up your own mind on treatments. Good Luck. Edited to ask. How long did you fast before the blood draw? This can make a world of difference to trigs. [/QUOTE]
