Dh than just lowering cholesterol, it is about preventing/reversing injury to the endothelium of a lot better than $1500.

I have slightly lower HDL for your thyroid and a cardiologist for your cholesterol, etc.

I just started taking Crestor, 5mg this evening. I am diabetic so it is good if I take it even thought my cholesterol is under 200.
Have you had good experiences with this drug? Did it lower your numbers? How long does it take before you see any change...

My cholesterol, with diet and exercise is around 200- a little over or a little under.
I take it because it also decreases triglycerides, which is my main issue .
It significantly lowered my cholesterol.
Melinda Yes.

Had a fun get together with two older gal pals up at our little French place this morning. Lots of laughter, and particularly good to be with one who is age 71 and just had an angioplasty procedure a couple of weeks ago after complaining of pain in her...

Is this woman on statin medication for cholesterol? I'm responding takes fish oil .

DH and I are so opposite with health/fitness. I've always been active and interested in nutrition (though I certainly have my weaknesses). When DH and I first got together he played on a sports team for fun, which he enjoyed. Once that stopped, though...

He was active, but that is only 2 seasons out of the year... .
My DH isn't the healthiest of people.
I can't force him to be active, though.
He doesn’t want to do anything as I do.
I am very active and DH….well, he’s a load.
Unfortunately, I am.

He's 34 years old :(
I am so worried about him. He has been eating much better this past week though but still high blood sugars. Doctor said the pills may not be strong enough and he may need to go directly to the insulin shots- so we will see what happens...

I hope your DH is able to get it under history, I'm surprised it took this long.....
DH went on WW this summer, and I think part of his motivation was to avoid diabetes (his grandfather had Type I).
History, I'm surprised it took this long.
