It doesn't take very long to bring it down to normal. Taking atorvastatin once a day for half year I went back to normal. The most important thing is to see a primary doctor and do the lab work regularly. High cholestrole is easy to treat. I have diabetis, so generally I can't eat much simple carbs, such as rice, noodles and bread. When I continued to eat noodles, rice and bread, my A1C stayed high, while my high cholestrole was already controled after half year of presciptions of both ATO and Metfomin. So by stopping eating any of these food and exercise regularly, my A1C got back to normal too! Don't eat refined, processed food, such as the white flour and white rice. I know lots of Chinese like these kinds of food. But they are very bad for health and create more problems than just high cholestrole and diabetes, because they are literally few of nutrients. There's very few vitamins and minerals left after the industrial process . You are malnutritious by eating your favorite ramen.
