Diet and lipids: 46 M, 220tc, 170tg, 140ldl, 39hdl.Tried diet and exercise but results similar above for 2 years,is it time to start niacin or statin? ANS: It is important to document that you were really on the diet prescribed. I use the DASH Diet Here is exact book #: ISBN: 0-7434-1007-6 -8. Do Chap 9 exactly and have team check urine Na/K if at goal and lipids did not change then you are not diet sensitive.
