Delighted with my PCP visit this morning! He always "grades" my lab results (he knows I'm a teacher) and today's report card was A+. AND he said "cholesterol is great and you're not on the zocor anymore." He also said that with my NMR HDL so high at 98, it is nearly impossible for total cholesterol to be under 200 so "that's not a problem." He liked the triglyceride number (75), but I've never had a real problem with that, relative to the "normal" range.
My next visit (6 months instead of 3!) will be to get LDL-P down to around 600-700 and triglycerides down around 60. Gotta pay more attention to carb counts before things go in my mouth (to avoid an unpleasant surprise yesterday I got with the "all-fruit" spread I talked about in the Food Elements forum).
