My other metabolic stuff was all in the normal ranges.
Been exercising 3 days a week for the past 9 months. I'm already on a statin but haven't been taking it for about a two weeks because my prescription ran out (ie: the visit). Don't think that change moved the needle at all. I wish I had a test pre/post weight loss while on the meds but I don't see a record of it. As I recall, losing 60+ pounds didn't change anything either vs. going onto the medications.
Can't fight those cholesterol genes I guess.
