[QUOTE="mpe, post: 402212, member: 60109"] Many GPs, including my own, appear unaware of hypocholesterolemia. Thus take a "lower the better" position. There also appears to be a logical disconnect in what little information exists in that hypocholesterolemia tends to be though of as a "symptom" (of something else). Whereas hypercholesterolemia tends to be considered a problem in itself. What dosn't help is that guidelines for hypercholesterolemia are being frequently ammended downwards, especially for diabetics. Potentially resulting in Iatrogenic (drug induced) hypocholesterolemia. (Possibly anything below 4.1 mmol/l total.) At least some of these side effects would be due to hypocholesterolemia, others with low co-enzyme Q10. Two things, of obvious interest to diabetics, which appear to be associated with chronic hypocholesterolemia are neuropathy and loss of beta cell functionality. Both of which might be attributed to diabetes... With CNS neuropathy being identified as "mental" illness. The brain may be entirely reliant on LDL to supply its cholesterol needs. So it's the amount of cholesterol being carried by this which actually matters. Something which the medical establishment might well find heritical. [/QUOTE]
