[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here are my recent #s:

72 Glucose
HDL: 51 mg/dL
LDL: 94  mg/dL
Triglyceride: 45 mg/dL

I used to be close to yours.

If you look here, http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/high-blood-cholesterol/in-depth/cholesterol-levels/art-20048245 It gives you a lot of great info.  For me, I am struggling to get my HDL number up.  Make a few big changes and some small ones and you should get there.  I agree, however, that you want to get the glucose under control before all else!  Good luck.

Depending on ones genetics, it may not be possible to change the numbers without medical intervention.

I have a problem with the tradeoff between blood sugar and cholesterol.  I can make my cholesterol numbers decent, but the specific med (in addition to everything else) raises my Blood Suger about 40%, and periodically causes me to faint.

So, I live with my chol. #s:

LDL:165
HDL: 18
Triglycerides:  345
Blood glucose: 135
A1C: 7.2

As I only have one kidney, I need to keep the diabetes under control.  But I also have heart disease, and two types of cancer (Stage 4 kidney and stage 1 colon).

OP, I will trade.[/quote]
