My most recent LDL-c was 49, slightly down from 55 last year. I'm taking Lipitor (10mg).
We both have better numbers than masters 60 endurance athletes:
I am supposed to take Crestor but I kept forgetting to take it in the evening. That score is just from modifying my diet.
I am taking the med in the morning now so it should get lower.
I could probably get it even lower if I gave up beer but I don’t want to get extreme.
