Hello there,
I would have liked to know your exact levels of LDL and Triglyceride (TGs) before I can recommend anything. However once when you start therapy for cholesterol you need to be on it for long.Very rarely we ask patients to reduce or stop the medicines. It may take about 3 months times before you can notice changes in your blood levels of cholesterol.
Its good to know that you have started making diet changes and exercise in your routine. It will benefit to reduce sugars as well as to some extent on cholesterol. Any type of alcohol is not encouraged, however if you cannot completely leave it then reduce your drink to 30ml. Scotch has one of the higher amounts of alcohol per volume.
Continue checking your sugars regularly.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
