Unfortunately most DR’s have a couple numbers they concentrate on. LDL/Total cholesterol and BP. Easy peasey numbers as one size fits all. It takes no real thought no digging to find the root of the problem IF their even is a problem. All my blood markers are in range most on the lower side. Tri/HDL .7 but my ldl is 149 and total cholesterol 238 and my DR is freaking out. He does not want to even discuss Tri/hdl. the possibility of my body screaming you’re poisoning me with these statins or now the psck9 not a word on the increase in diabetes when my moms side is rampant with it. Vary frustrating that I have do do all this research and educate him - I’m just barely a high school grad. and ampretty sure I know more than he does on blood work.
