  • A question on Cholesterol

    I had blood work done and was told that my total cholesterol was 244 and my LDL was 157. I did not get the HDL. Would the HDL be 244-157=87? If so, isn't the HDL good? Anything over 60 is great and the LDL is borderline high. My Dr. wants to discuss my going on a statin. I would rather NOT. I am diabetic on oral meds and doing Atkins. Any thoughts?
