OH found out in September that his cholesterol is quite high. We have been going the diet and exercise route (well, exercise in theory anyway, that hasn't been consistent). We just received word that we'll be sent an ITA, and so that means that we'll have until about the end of february to turn it in... He goes in December for a re-check of his cholesterol levels, and we hope that it will be significantly lower.

I'm thinking we should delay the medicals for as long as possible to give his 'official' labs the best shot at passing muster. If we do them in mid-january will that be enough time to get the results in with the ITA? (we're in the US)

For those of you who have dealt with lowering your cholesterol, did you go on medication? Were there any special supplements you used? What is the threshold at which you are considered 'acceptable' to nzis? OH is not excited about the thought of medication, but it is a minor thing in the long run... don't want him dropping of a heart attack when we get our blue stickers
