What should be normal Glucose, BP, and TC levels for seniors

[gotts1936]

I have decided to stop accepting the drug companies current levels for Glucose, BP and TC levels as a 73 years old senior. I have kept copies of my blood work for 15 years and my averages are glucose 126, BP 155/90 and TC 265 and I am still alive without any problems except the statin damage.

I have already stopped taking Lovastatin for cholesterol and refused metformin for blood glucose and I am going to stop taking Lisinopril for BP.

And, until all my blood levels, etc. exceed the following I will take no more medication.

Glucose ---- under 130
BP ---------- under 160/95
TC ---------- under 280
HDL --------- under 50

Doctors need to stop treating us 70+ seniors like twenty years olds and adjust they requirements before they prescribe medication.

Wish me luck.

Personally pushing any of these harsh drugs like statins on older adults over like 75 does more harm than good. Take a good vitamin supplement , get 2000-4000 IU's of vitiamin D a day and people would be a lot better off to say nothing about having a lot more money in their pocket . This is for people without any preexisting conditions.
