The initial test was for my life insurance screening, which is what scared me into the doctors office. Went back in January and hadn't improved, but I hadn't been going to the gym either, so we will see if that made any difference next month.
Still high, but not borderline-scary high
Total 224 (was 276)
LDL 159 (was 197)
Diet and exercise, and come back in 6 months.
Also managed to drop 6 pounds in a month since the first test.
