I have the same ldl issue,, which I think is due to still losing weight, hence lots of blood lipids. My doc is threatening statins but I am countering with a) let's wait till my weight is stable (not far to go... I am at 78 percent to goal) b) we need a particle size eval and c) I am changing out some animal fats for fish avocado and olive oil.
Honestly, I think I will decline statins no matter what but my ldl is 199 and my triglycerides are 140 so it seems those should come down. Hdl is great... 69. My doc is on board with low carb, but I don't think he is clear on ldl. He IS on board with particle size being relevant before future discussions of statins occur.
I have been very rigorous with the eating plan and no cheats, so I am hoping the "bad" numbers are mostly indicative of fats being released for fuel.
A1c is 4.4!
