Anonymous, 28, New York [Female]

My grandmother died of a heart attack.  
 
My dad has high cholesterol.  
 
My mom has high cholesterol due to diabetes.  
 
My sister, brother and I have high cholesterol and high triglyceride count. 
 
Basically, my family is a ticking time bomb. We try to lead healthy lives by eating healthy and exercising, but the gene pool is hard to beat. My mom and dad are currently taking cholesterol lowering drugs. Sooner or later my entire family will be on cholesterol lowering and triglyceride lowering drugs. All we can hope for is our combination of a healthy lifestyle and drugs will allow us to lead long healthy lives.
