Going to have my cholesterol checked at the lab tomorrow, so I did a home test. Partly to see how accurate these things are and also partly to see where I'm at. The last time I had it checked, doc wanted to put me on Lipitor because both my total cholesterol and my LDL went up. Of course, my HDL had also gone up and my triglycerides had dropped over 200 points (I said no to the Lipitor). Anyway....home test shows me around 190 which is good because I checked it a month ago and the test showed me at 230! I re-read DANDR and added some Niacin and Red rice yeast to the Fish oil and garlic that I was already taking and they seem to be doing the trick. Also increased (yes, INcreased my fat consumption). I'll post the actual numbers when I get them back.
