Hi raytraci. Are you still in ketosis? If so, it could be artificially elevating your numbers. There is no evidence that statins actually help anyone except men who have already had a heart attack before age 65, so I'd be hesitant to take them if you feel good. See some of the threads in here for links to the heartscan blog and other resources.

Since he is using the mmol/L units, I used a converter to put them into the mg/dL units most Americans will recognize.

Total Cholesterol:
9.3 mmol/L = 362.7 mg/dL

LDL Cholesterol:
6.88 mmol/L = 268.32 mg/dL

HDL Cholesterol:
1.39 mmol/L = 54.21 mg/dL

Triglerides:
2.44 mmol/L = 217.16 mg/dL

I used the converter here:
