Suggest treatment to control blood sugar and cholesterol
Patient: I have a total cholesterol of 223 and I am a woman age 55. I exercise about 3-4 times a week for 30-45 minutes. I know I need to cut down on sugar but besides that not sure what to do? I only eat chicken and fish but I love baked goods. I do not eat butter, I eat smart Balance or Earth Balance. I have eaten an avacado almost everyday for the past two months. My ldl is 131. How can I lower that? I also drink a glass of red wine each night. I drink a lot of coffee-2-3 cups per day Doctor: Try with balanced diet and regular 30-40min daily exercise ( eg.brisk walking) & then check lipid profile again. If it is still deranged, then we can start medicines but I m sure diet plus exercise will help. And check blood sugar level once and get examined ur blood pressure level.
