Rembering to take cholesterol medicine
- I set my alarm clock in the evening so I won't forget.

Cholesterol pill as "eye opener"
- I take my pill right away when I wake ab at 5AM with water I have on my bedside. My cholesterol was constantly out of control until one day when I changed my habit. One hour before and two hours after the pill I should not eat. Voila - it worked, and now I have breakfast in my office and feel great.
