It isn't a very dramatic change, especially not compared to past swings. Grasping at straws coupled with the knowledge while I won't be devoid of fat soon, we are bottoming out here.

I am guessing next test likely bears out lower than this, higher than I'd like. My paternal Grandfather lived into his mid 80s and often statins are credited for that. So I take that as high cholesterol has a place in my genetics.

I just have no urge to get on a cholesterol lowering med.
