Cholesterol level in blood stream

I wish I knew, my doctor is on me to take statins and I refusing. I live in Canada. My triglycerides are 1/2 the were s year ago. My total cholesterol is 6.9 I believe and she said they should be 5,2

My doc said to come in after 6 months from my last check (hmm, that's right about now).   My cholesterol goes down 2-3 points for every pound I lose. But that is my pattern.
