1. Lifestyle modification including reduction of fat intake to <30% of total daily intake and regular aerobic exercise of about 20min 3x/week especially for those more than 40yo with a family hstory of heart disease.
2. Maintain a BP of <130/80 mm Hg.
3. LDL cholesterol (considered the bad cholesterol) should be <100mg/dl and those with established heart disease the goal is even lower at 50-70mg/dl.
4. HgA1c (Hemoglobin A1c) should be <7%. This is measure of good glycemic control.
5. Just as the chinese saying goes, "a good doctor treats the disease, while a superior doctor prevents the the disease". This emphasizes to us the importance of prevention in whatever we do in life. The choice is yours!
