Only borderline? Please look into controlled-release niacin, and ask your doctor about giving it a trial. You can google it and/or search NT for cholesterol statin niacin.

It controls my wife's cholesterol as well as the statin they had her on. Beware of prescription Niaspan; controlled/slow-release niacin (same thing) can be gotten OTC for 1/10 the cost.
