Well our labs are in. I was disappointed and confused about the cholestrol thing. DH total cholestrol is now 251 and his LDL is now 204. His triglycerides are 73. Doc is very worried about his LDL. Says it should never be over 100 and likes it around 70. Says she wants to start Lipitor. Has ordered a stress test. Plus his BP is up to 148/90 today. Here are my results.

Mine:
WAS NOW
cholestrol 171 193
triglyceride 92 129
cholestrol, HDL 37.8 39.6
LDL (calc) 115 127
LDL/HDL ratio 3.0 3.2

I had great results after 4 weeks of LC, but now doesn't look as good. I have had less cheats than you can count on one hand in the last 16 weeks. What should we do with our diet. Is the butter, bacon, ham, and sausage okay? I read a little of the cholestrol threads in the cholestrol sections but I just don't get what IS too high? When should we worry? We are not for RX, that's for sure.

On a better note;

WAS NOW
AIC 6.6 5.9
glucose 121 109
HGB 10.8 13.4
vit D 16.6 not retested

So, I was pleased with this. I do wish they had retested my Vit D. I took the calcium with it this time. I expected it to be different than the whole 1 1/2 yr I took the silly D2 and D3 without it. So, do I continue to take the iron and Vit C even though my HGB is normal?

DH's mom and dad have high cholestrol and take lipitor and his mom had 3 major blockages this past year.

Any input is welcome...unless your a statin lover! lol
