Paul-E,


While the numbers on your lipid panel aren't real pretty, they don't mean that you're going to drop dead tomorrow.  Regarding the cholesterol myth...my Mom had total cholesterol of over 300, but was never fat and never had diabetes, and she lived to be 97 years old...(yes, I'm one of the resident "old guys" here on excelmale).  You may be one of those guys that has a genetic predisposition to high cholesterol, and altering your diet will have minimal impact on those numbers.  Live your life, eat as healthy as you can, and don't get too wrapped up on numbers.   


Your glucose and A1C numbers are not indicative of someone headed towards type 2 diabetes.  If fact, they are really good.  


Just curious if you have any history of heart disease in your family?  You don't smoke, do you?
