A 65 year-old woman with medical history of Type II diabetes, obesity, and hypertension comes to your office for the first time.  She has been told her cholesterol was elevated in the past and states that she has been following a “low cholesterol diet” for the past 6 months after seeing a dietician. She had a normal exercise stress test last year prior to knee replacement surgery and has never had symptoms of CHD. A fasting lipid profile was performed and revealed a LDL 130, HDL 30 and a total triglyceride of 300.  Her HbA1c is 6.5%.
