i go to my PCP every 6 months to check my cholesterol. it runs in my family. i am taking the lowest statin and i don't want to increase the dosage, so i do all that i can to keep it that way. my results since the last time: total: was 211, now 180 biggest decrease was LDL. i'll update the breakdown after he sends me the written labs because the info he gave me during our virtual meeting doesn't add up. about me: i walk 10,000 steps a day and it helps keep the cholesterol down. takeaway: LDL decreased due to increasing fiber intake and decreasing sugary foods. PM me if you have any questions. so in answer to Pharma, the OP, in my case meds are needed due to heredity, yet i strive to keep it under 200. if i didn't take the statin, it would be a minimum of 250 and up.

I will take bloodwork this weekend. I'm hopeful. I take fiber supplement, fish oil, and work out. We'll see.

good luck Bubbles - crossing my fingers for you and will walk an extra lap for good measure.
another thing i did: i was due for a blood donation, so i timed it to be 2 days before my cholesterol test. but i promise, i was amping up the fiber and continue to do so! i'm hoping to drop some pounds, so the fiber will help. PM me for details.
