My cholesterol reports are in the low to moderate risk category, and the doctor is suggesting medication. Otherwise, I'm healthy with no serious issues like high blood pressure. Over 40 with minimal weight gain over the years. Cholesterol count is 250, but HDL portion is pretty low (50). What should I do?

I'm pretty good about eating low-fat foods and try to consume plenty of fruits and vegetables. How often, really, should I have cholesterol tested? I've been within the norm for years, so is there really a need to check it annually?
Scheduled for the next physical and am wondering if there's anything I can do beforehand to help my cholesterol count? In other words, I'd like to lower it for the test.
I'm dealing with high cholesterol, especially the LDL - and I know that's bad. Also, my triglycerides are high. I'm not taking any medication, so that's not an issue. Any chance I can bring this level down with diet? Or am I facing cholesterol medication?
