Sorry to hear that some of you are having elevated cholesterol levels. That can be very frustrating as well as a big concern for your health. Be sure to follow up with another blood test. Unfortunately some of you may need to be on statins to help control your cholesterol. I know for myself I was on them for about 6 months but had to stop them they caused to many side effects for me but once I started eating healthy my numbers got better.

Someone also mentioned about having "healthy fats" in your diet, they are so important.

I personally have blood work every 3 months due to medical issues so yesterday I went to my doctor for my results (this was the first blood test that I've had since joining JC)and I was amazed(so was my doctor)when he informed me that my numbers where the best that I have had in years!!!

Good Luck To You...

I just got my lab work results and in the past 3 months since my last results my cholesterol has climbed to 233. Everything else looks good but this.

HI girls

went for my blood results yesterday and everything was good. Triglycerides were a little bit higher but still within range....but all...and my glucose was good.

By BP was lower and she may cut meds! YIPPEE!!!

Sorry about those that had results that were higher...I was really worried. My doctor said whatever you eat in the days before can make things out of whack...that's just a thought.

Take care and hope the next results are better for all!
