My total cholesterol is 163. I do need to loose some more weight. I haven't been able to do that even though I've upped my milage and tried to eat carefully. Been stalled out for about 8 weeks. No change in weight. I made it through the holidays without gaining any though!
I am not currently on any medications for my diabetes. I've brought my A1c down from 7 to 5.3 with exercise and diet. I'd been eating purely vegetarian for about 4 months and then went back to a little meat. I've been trying to eat the right kind of fats.
I've started chromium picolinate and garlic. I heard some radio program about alpha-lipoic acid and was going to research it a little. I tried the niacin and hated the side effects.
