Integrated medicine: Number oriented doctors will start you on medications. LDL is supposed to be below 100 & if diabetic below 70. Total cholesterol below 200. If you do not have any other cardiac risk,& HDL being 76 try lifestyle modification- mediterranean diet & regular exercises.For natural agents which can reduce LDL Refer to drhoffman.com
