Dr. Smith, Yes, borderline. My last 6 years average is 191 cholesterol, 41 HDL, 125 LDL AND 119 Triglycerides. I guess out of all of them the LDL is actually borderline.

The more I think about it perhaps the doc may have been influenced by the fact that both my 90 yr old Mother and 68 yr old sister are both on Lipitor.

But I will look into the controlled-release niacin. Thanks.
