[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. My eating is really healthy, tons of veggies, beans, fish once a week, chicken once a week, steel cut oatmeal, quinoa, lots of nuts. No processed foods except for tortilla chips and popocorn which I eat a handful of times a week, but no sweets. [/quote]

there are non-statin medications you can try.
But if all your other labs are good, high cholesterol is not necessarily a huge concern.
Some of it is just genetics.
I've always had high cholesterol; but not until my A1C reached diabetes levels were doctors concerned and prescribed lipitor. It made me lightheaded and I didn't want to stay on a statin long term. After I lost a little weight and my A1C came down, they were not concerned about the heart risks and were fine discontinuing the cholesterol medication. My cholesterol went right back up, of course, despite continuing healthier eating and exercise. It's the triglycerides and other stuff that are more important than the cholesterol level alone.[/quote]
