[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2445075, member: 451727"] I often wonder about this scenario, your cholesterol was 8.8 (I note you do not yet have the breakdown), and due to being on statins (presumably) it is now down to 4.0. So as we all know, statins will reduce cholesterol but if you stop them it will probably go back to your normal. So the point for me is how do you feel about taking/staying on statins? The GPs will say 'that's great, your level is 4, continue' but I don't hold with this artificial attempt to reduce cholesterol to an 'average' level just because of a total.....Of course it's a choice we all have to make once we have hopefully done our research. That's why we are asking for you to get your breakdown (for all 3 readings) because then at least you can make an informed decision. [/QUOTE]
