I exercise 5dys a week eat healthy take zocor and my ldl's are still high hdl's are great i dont understand. also what oil is best to cook with for ldl's and heart health. i dont drink or smoke and i'm a diabetic, your opinion would be appreciated ty?

Genetic problem: You inherited the tendency to make too much cholesterol. As a diabetic, one should treat the LDL cholesterol to a level of 70 or lower. Often this requires the strong medicine Zocor at a high dose. Work with your PCP or Endocrinologist to achieve this response. Good luck
