[QUOTE="Chez31, post: 1911929, member: 469976"] Well, thanks everyone . Good news is the consultant does not think my pattern fits Familial Hypercholesterlaemia. Phew. He notes it started increasing most after I had to stop hrt due to my cancer. He is delighted with my HDL and low blood pressure and not excessively worried by my ldl at this stage. I have begun atorvastatin on a low dose trial but he feels it is not crucial and if doesn't make mich difference to my ldl its prob not worth taking and certainly not at any higher dose considering the risk of it raising my blood sugars ( although this risk is small) . He seemed un fussed by my low carb diet, didn't pooh pooh it and said he didn't think I needed to change my diet much as id sorted out which carbs I could cope with without spiking my bloods. If my sugars got higher he would see me.for a.review. Pretty pleased really. Not often I get to see a Doc who doesn't patronise me . [/QUOTE]
