From JB to Private Flying!

Well, after 6 years of PPRuNeing, an inheritance and an impending mid-life crisis, I have just signed up for flight school

(MODS not sure if this should be in Medical or Private Flying...?)

Luxembourg flight schools have only recently adopted JAR licenses (I will read up on these), but my (first) question is re. the JAR Class 2 medical- I have the medical on Monday, and the doc. emailed me the prescription for a blood test which also checks cholesterol, both LDL and HDL- I have cholesterol in abundance (the wrong sort, natch...) and my GP put me on statins recently, for life, according to him. High cholesterol runs in the family, and my 8 yo is already at 220...

Is high cholesterol a no-no for a class 2 JAR medical, or something to be monitored? As far as I know, the rest of me is basically OK...

Many thanks,

Maxbert
