    So I stopped Drinking any alcohol for 3 to 4 months a few years ago. My BP went down, Did not check cholesterol.

So what works for one, will not work for another. This is why I chuckle a bit when some new diet BS comes out and people jump on the bandwagon when in the end, very few meet the claimed numbers. Same goes for Vegen's. Not everyone benefits from becoming a Vegen.

    I am right around 5'8 (shrinking every year as I am fighting gravity) and weigh 160 to 165 consistently. Don't smoke, never have, Drink cocktails every 2 or 3 days, exercise modestly( walking, riding Mtn Bike, work around the house) and eat a reasonably well balanced diet for the most part and take no meds. Last physical was OK.

    Please take a minute to read the below. it could change your life. I will try to keep it brief. We need to get proactive about our health!!!!
    I am about to fire the cardiologist who has being managing my condition for about seven years. I am now interviewing others to find someone who can assist me in reversing my condition.
    When I started with my doctor , he used to have his own practice, he now works for a large corporate healthcare management corp. (Crystal Run) who IMO is more interested in managing my condition and milking my health insurance, that curing me.
    I go to my Dr appointment,they take me to a small room, nurse comes in, takes my BP and weight. I wait some more, Dr comes in, asks me how I am doing, checks nurses results, and any blood test results, adjust or prescribes more medications. or suggests other medical interventions and/or other specialty doctors with in their system, and after 10-15 min walks out to do the same with another, and another and another patient. .......
    Sounds familiar??
    I am not the brightest light bulb on the christmas tree . but I am a take charge type of person , and very disciplined, when I know what to do, I do it!! ther rub is knowing what to do, and the doctors are not helping, their business model, is managing, not curing.
    I am not going to tell you what to do , for the solution to be effective for you, you need to find out for yourself. if I told you, you might think it is another crackpot idea, amd you might be right. I am not entirely sure I am on the correct path yet, but I am working on it.
    Research. Metabolic Syndrome, insulation resistance, Carbohydrates. Go to Youtube and watch cardiologist's seminars on "reversing heart disease" and "Nutrition" follow the threads and see where they lead you.

    Good luck

    PS: initially the information you get will be confusing and contradictory. Eggs, are good, eggs are bad, fat is good , fat is bad.
    watch all of them and take them with a grain of salt, eventually a pattern will emerge that will make things clear.

    You? dish out crap? You could not dish out crap if someone gave you a shovel. Mind you, probably a bit too much like work if someone did give you a shovel eh? Quick case of the "SADs" no doubt.

    You are the board equivalent of one of those hamsters in a little plastic ball - running around the place bumping into peoples ankles. Amusing at first, but rapidly becoming tedious.

    HDL-CHOL 46mg/dl
    LDL-calculated 56.2 mg/dl

    Which is fairly decent. Kicker was doc also ordered a glucose test and that was 111 mg/dl (fasting) which gets me in the pre-diabetes group. Sigh. Too many carbs it seems (as I don't do sugar, cakes etc).

    Hi fasting glucose has been shown to have a link to being a nasty curmudgeon. Try being less of an online arsehole and it may well drop.

    Dunno why my doc added that to the panel of checks, but will follow up on it. Probably simply too much carbs in the diet. Diet for a heart attack patient and diet for high blood glucose seem to be diametrically opposed. Going to be fun trying to walk the middle line. As you have noted before my diet is already pretty spartan.

    That's not comforting in the slightest.

    Seriously though, only the Fishwife could (or would) come onto a health thread, make a comment like that, and then accuse someone else of being an online asshole. That takes a very special type of churlish pettiness.

    I have a cholesterol test religiously every 5 years. I put my low cholesterol down to plenty of full cream milk, butter and eggs. Oh.... and ignoring all those scientists that reverse their decision every few years.
